I wouldn't call this a bad parking job. Instead, the driver might have done this on purpose. Normally, we would park a little bit toward the left side of the spot to avoid being hit by the car on the right

I disagree. A real Z driver backs into their parking spots to start and what about the inevitable car that will be parking on the driver's side? If this person was worried about being hit by other cars they wouldn't be parking in this spot that is so close to the front of the lot. This is a bad parking job, not horrendous like some others here, just bad or maybe poor. Better yet, lazy.

I can't help to ask. What's the point of backing into the spot as a "real Z driver"? How's that any different from just driving into the spot "head first?

A smart Z driver parks in the back and simply pulls through two spaces so he never has to worry about backing up.

because you can't see **** out of the back sides of this car. Pulling out of a parking spot front ways is a lot safer because you can see the traffic and people walking coming both ways very clearly. When you back in to the parking spot you don't have to worry about anything coming from the side and clipping you. This all seems to be common sense in the mid-a group...

and bdavis what you suggests means the driver of the car in the picture in question would have to hop the curb and sidewalk but yes in general thats a good idea.

True. But you can't always do that. What if the parking spots are on the edge of a parking lot, which means it's a dead end on one side.
