I'm A Trendsetter!

One of the guys at work turned me on to the idea, so I started doing it. Now half the people where I work do it.

Nobody in my neighborhood did it, then I started and now look what's happened:

... because you never know when you'll need to make a fast getaway?

Well, there is that. Primarily I do it because of the convenience. When I am fresh and ready to go, I can get in and drive away. The tedious backing up and changing directions is reserved for a time when I have been driving already and don't mind the minor hassle of parking.

It is also theoretically a gas-saving and pollution-reducing measure, as the reversing is done while the engine is warmed up. You spend a second or two less at idle with a cold engine if you just drive straight away.
