I'm sorry but no, it's so much easier both theoretically and in practice. I've always struggled to understand why people don't do it. Except when doing a large shop and needing to use the boot. Even then I feel bad going in forwards. And it's not about looking a better driver, its about being one.
More importantly reversing allows you to control the whole car whereas when going forward the rear wheels follow (at an angle).
First sensible post ever from the Rev?
