unfortunately whenever you are backing up, it is NEVER your right of way. You must yield to stupid people who obviously saw you backing out but refuse to be courteous so they keep driving and then you end up hitting them.
Ask me how I know....

Yep, when backing up, you never have the right of way, it sucks. Specially in large garages where nobody stops and vision is very limited, especially when everyone drives SUVs and parks em around you -.-

Always back in, Always. I'd rather pay a 20 dollar ticket occasionally than to risk getting hit by someone or worse... hitting a child I couldn't see.
P.S. Pull in laws are stupid.

Can you really get a ticket for backing into a spot? In which state is this a law?

yes, that's your fault. however, if you had any witnesses that could testify to her driving recklessly..or in this case reck-fully, you could possibly get it to be 50/50.

I thing I noticed since moving to SoCal is the absolute rudeness of people when it comes to letting people back out of spaces. I can't tell you how often I'd be 1/2 out when some *** with a death wish goes flying behind me in the parking lot and sometimes even honking at me for his/her douchness.

That's when you click the red button and deploy the trunk missile launchers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding, backing in to park is only illegal when the exhaust is facing a pedestrian walkway, so this regulation probably does not apply to parking lots.
