dude why is there like a whole car length in front of most of those cars?? are they moving forward or something or just completely inept?

When I started driving I was taught to leave enough space between my car and the next car that I could turn out without any other car moving (in front or behind).

If you snug up it limits your options

It's amazing how most drivers forget this.

I had one person a few weeks ago blast his horn because he was "stuck" behind my car (I was taking a left he was going forward, one lane).

If they had left enough space to see my cars back tires on the road they would have plenty of space to manoeuvre.
