All things being equal, will you turn left or right into a parking spot?

[Dragnov]

Say all things being equal, theres a spot on the left and a spot on the right. Which way will you turn?

I much prefer left.... it just feels easier. Not entirely sure why, but probably because I can judge the turning angle better.

 

[murphy55d]

Left, no doubt.

 

[bradruth]

Right. I enjoy making tight, fast turns.

 

[Evadman]

My left hand and my right hand always fight over this. My right hand usualy wins though, because it gets most of the excersize.

 

[SWScorch]

left; I can judge better

 

[gistech1978]

left

 

[cavemanmoron]

whichever one i can pull thru,so I can drive forward to leave.

I normally park,as often as possible,so I do Not need to back up to leave.

I would rather back into a spot,than back out,into a busy parking lot!


Never been hit in a parking lot yet. Have been driving since Oct.1974,

OMG almost 30 years!
:Q

left. When I pull into my carport I circle around the parking lot just so I can turn left into it.

your car turns to the right better than the left? wtf do you drive?

 

[Shockwave]

Left. I drive an SUV and the extra room to get lined up straight is nice.

 

[brtspears2]

Left of course.

 

[notfred]

right, I can judge how close the front bumper comes to the other car more easily.

 

[mugs]

Since I usually drive down the right side of the aisle, I'd pick the left over the right. Notfred has a good point through.

 

[JoeKing]

neither, leave the car in the middle and run away.

If all things are equal, that means that you moving forward on the street is just as easy for people pointed in the opposite direction to move forward on the street, respectively. That means that you can't park on the left side of the street unless you drive on the left side of the street. Legally, your only option is to park on the right side of the street or not drive at all.

 

[crypticlogin]

My usual parking is to the right so I'm more comfortable with that but if we weren't creatures of habit, left would be the more logical way.

Interesting question, btw.

 

[Orsorum]

All things being equal, I don't really care. : )

 

[Shawn]

left, probably.

 

[SoulAssassin]

A better question might be whether you turn to the drivers side or the passenger side since a good portion of the board is not from the USA and things may be reversed. I think it's easier to turn to the drivers side (left in the USA) since you can cut the angle a little closer to the car to that side.

The poll results aren't surprising, since most people are right-handed, and it's easier for the right hand to turn the steering wheel counter-clockwise, than it is for the right hand to turn the wheel clockwise.

 

[LordMorpheus]

left, because seeing as I drive on the right side on the parking lane, that means I get a wider turning radius.
