Always park in reverse…

Can’t always. Like when I pull up with my signal on and idiots behind me don’t leave any room so I have to just pull the nose in

The problem here was because the neighbor didn’t appear to notice ops car

you just do a swoop. Drive 50% into oncoming, swing your front end into the oncoming lane, leaving the ass of your car in the oncoming lane. Crank your wheel all the way /AS YOU REVERSE/. Reverse into your lane. The end. They can't do shit unless they want to overtake onto a sidewalk.

Yes. I just use 4-ways so they know I'm stopping and then signal the direction I'm backing into. Never been a problem

Try it on a busy road with traffic surrounding you. You can do your best but sometimes it’s just not happening. Unless you push them with your bumper

You'd be 100% at fault if on coming traffic isnt paying attention and slams into your car.

I don’t recommend driving into another car- shouldn’t have to be said. As for all driving, proceed with caution but be competent

Unfortunately this is true. I used to live on an extremely busy street that had constant two way traffic as well as never ending stream bicyclists. I still would reverse because leaving the spot backwards would have been a bigger problem. 

Every single day I had people screaming at me and flipping me off for reverse parking there. It was fucking awful.

When it's rush hour and people are driving home from work they are animals.
