215: Backing Out of a Parking Space
8 April, 2011[Correspondence to and from the Washington Post's Dr. Gridlock (Robert Thomson), March, 2011:]
“Backing out from between two SUVs: yes, slowly. But I also use my four-way flashers, especially at night and in garages. It seems to help alert other drivers as to what I’m doing.”

“Thanks, Terence, I like that idea. What you saw in the paper was a reproduction from my online chat on Monday. During the chat, I got many more comments from readers on this backing-in topic than I was able to publish. I suppose it sounds like a small thing compared to the future of Metro, or whether we should build more High Occupancy Toll lanes, but it clearly was something that many readers cared about and had thought about.”
