I noted when visiting Byron Bay street parking was reverse angle parking, bloody brilliant. I have notice a lot of big company parking is now reverse angle parking, so much safer and easier for those that can reverse park. For those that don't they get to learn
I find it easier to reverse park any way but reverse angle parking is so much easier
Some people are hopeless, twice I have had women back into the side of my car while reversing out of a parking bay. Seriously they only needed to look in the rear view mirrors.
