What's with leaving a gap at the lights?
#31
I get really irritated by the udgers, you know, they come to a stop, then shuffle up a few yards closer to the rear of the car in front.
Its like they cant judge the distance to enable them to pick the spot where they need to stop at the required distance from the car in front.
Lost count the number of times I have stopped, handbrake on, out of gear. then the plebs in front start shuffling up, leaving a big gap in front of me. **** poor driving IMO

I think what Pimmo in his starting post is questioning is why some people leave one or even two car lengths gap away from the red traffic lights while waiting for them to change from amber to green. This also make things uncomfortable for the back-enders of such driver number 1 in the front. With this, On some short road from a roundabout (like the Wrexham one) they will have less space to give one another enough room, and then there will be more chances of backend bashings.
Whoever stays too far from the limiting line (which is already thoughtfully marked by the Highways Maintenance) causes a nuisance to other drivers. They need to believe that that bit of earth won't split into two to gulp them. Don't stay too far from the line, don't cross it, just stay close to it- that will do good to the world.
I do agree that some turning HGVs are far too big these days, so it may be a good idea to stay as far as. Humungous horseboxes on a turn are more of a worry in this side of the world. They're just so volatile.

Leaving too big a gap at the lights is the height of bad manners. Yes, tailgating on the open road is stupid and dangerous, but deliberately leaving the same kind of gap when going through a set of lights at 10mph just means less vehicles get through before it turns red again. It's selfish and irresponsible.

There are a couple of junctions where I definitely leave a car length in front (when stopped at a red obv). Why, because I know that buses, coaches and artics, turn in to those roads from the right and swing across to be able to make said turn.
What annoys me is the prats that don't seem to be able to stop for the white line and encroach on clearly marked cycle boxes...
