  • Easier to fit into tighter spots
  • Easier to get the vehicle straight and on the middle of the slot
  • Safer as you're far more likely to hit a person/car when backing out onto the street rather than backing into a parking slot that you can see in the mirrors in it's entirety
  • Faster to leave if you're in a hurry (probably why it's called assault parking)

This is my first truck but I've always parked my vehicles this way.
