When you back into a parking spot....

[ECB]

I'm thinking more along the lines of the spaces in parking garages, but I guess this could apply to parallel parking too -

Do you physically turn your body to see where you're going or do you only use your mirrors? 

[papie]

I will give a quick look into my blind spot, but I mostly use my mirrors.

I physically turn and check my parking camera too. No mirrors.

I physically turn my body.

[wrathofkuus]

I physically turn, but when driving Mr. Kuus's much nicer car, I make heavy use of the backup camera for most of it.

[cookie510]

I use my back up camera and mirrors.

[missanne]

I only use my mirrors.

[starbuck]

Both. I have back up sensors but not a camera. It does make life easier.

[bonquiqui]

I never back into a parking spot, but I would physically turn my body if I did.  I just never feel the need to back in.  haha

[VillainV]

I physically turn, then check my mirrors and my camera, then physically turn again while I'm completing the back-in :-)

[dragonfly08]

Both.

[dottyblue]

I only use my mirrors. I will turn and check my blind spots before moving, but once I put it in reverse, it's mirrors only.

I unbuckle my seatbelt and turn my body to back into places. I never trust my mirrors.

[cuddlyevil]

Both.

[emjacobs]

Mirrors only.

[agnes]

I'm pretty sure I turn and use my mirrors.

I'll have to check tomorrow morning when I park my car at work. I have to back into my space every day.

I was seriously about to ask if I was the only one not to back it up.  lol  Sometimes it irrationally annoys me when people take all day backing into a spot.  Just fucking pull straight in.  lol

I only use mirrors. I'm really short and I have headrests in the back seat of my car that don't allow for the best visibility.

If I didn't have to, I wouldn't.  But my parking spot at work is tandem parking.  This is the only way for both cars to fit in the space and not block another spot. It's kind of an L shaped parking situation.

[BaliHai]

Just mirrors, but I use my mirrors and I turn when I'm changing lanes.

[picaflora]

With the F-150, I use the mirrors. They are nice glorious towing mirrors and I can see all around. The truck gets back into spaces frequently.

I don't back the Subaru - it's easier to pull into a space. If we're at a concert/sporting event, DH drives.
