You have full visibility forward, left and to right as you slowly leave the parking spot and I never need to crane my neck when pulling out of a parking spot this way. I've been pulling through into parking spots for many many years. I've noticed in recent years, many many more drivers are parking their cars by pulling through as I do.

Just asking, does this mean when you leave your parking space that you are entering a drive lane going in the wrong direction?
If so, I'm assuming you have to make a very wide turn in order to drive out in the correct direction.
Over the past three years I've seen two fender benders result from similar pull thru parking. Once a woman turned too sharply scraping the side of her car against the rear end of the correctly parked car next to her. In the second incident a man made too wide of a turn and bumped in to the rear of a correctly parked car on the other side of the drive lane.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the type of parking you're describing and these two incidents don't relate at all.
