Backing into a Parking Space

Another reason some places prohibit backing into a parking space has to do with locations of parking stickers or other identifying marks on the car. My sons’ university requires parking stickers to be positioned on the rear window and then prohibits backing into a parking space - that way the security officers can simply drive by and verify who has stickers and who doesn’t. But, given that backing in is inherently more safe, my vote is safety should trump convenience.
