grinds my gears every time
why can't people simply straighten out their steering? it really bugs me. i myself would not ever in 47 trillion years ever park my car with the steering wheels not 100% completely straightened out. one of my neighbors parks this way every single time. i can't help myself to think this person is a dipshit
am i the only one who thinks/feels this way?

What bothers me is when the tire turner points them in the wrong direction.
I'm not a tire turner though...

I thought that was only if you were on a hill.
Yeah, well he's about to get his side view mirror knocked the fuck off.
i see cars on a flat surface, 410 feet away from any other cars & 900 miles away from any hills & yet full wheel turning as if they were checking their shocks & struts

what i don't get is people with manual transmissions that are parked on a flat surface that put on the E brake. i just throw it into R and forget about it.

Yes I remember learning this too. But chadwick I can see your point, that if you're the only car for miles around, maybe its not an issue. In Brooklyn no one does it as far as I've noticed.

totally agree. Amazing how bad most drivers are...especially in the state of Pennsylvania, which has the worst collection of drivers on the planet

who would run around with a car stereo set at 9 or 23 or 17? i surely would not ever do such a thing
same with wheels turned when parked. it is bullshit when leaving & it looks uncomfortable to me.

same types that turn the car off and leave the windshield wipers on, then the snow and ice fall so when the car is turned on, strips the wipers and breaks them all up. that really ticked me off when she did that
If you check the rooftops down the street, you'd see that the person who turned his wheel to the curb, did the right thing :ugeek: . They're on a very steep hill, the car will only roll an inch. Now if the brakes fail or the car gets slammed from behind, it won't wind up in the middle of the street
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!
"hello, im home" off goes the ignition. wheel jacked 72-79 degrees, it's almost 3 o'clock according to the steer tires. frig that.

guac is right, need to turn the wheels so if for some reason your car gives way, you don't roll into the car in front-as the guy in the blue van will do to the white van.
I can always spot a transplant as they turn their wheels the wrong way on a hill. Some of the hills downtown, yeah, you best be turning, your wheels, AND using your e-brake.
I have seen a parked vehicle stray from its parking spot...sans driver, and then smash into another car. Flagged down a bike cop and told them what happened.

As mentioned by others... the reason you see so many cars parked this way is because it is the correct thing to do. It was taught to me in Driver's Ed YEARS ago.
I hope it doesn't grind your gears that a lot of people actually slow down instead of speed up at a yellow light.

True. But aren't these tires turned the wrong way for that though?
