Why leave gaps when waiting at a red light?

    ITs not as bad as when I leave 3 seconds between me and the car in front of me but some yuppie insists that’s enough room to go around and then return to the same lane, since you know, you gotta keep right.

    Those gaps are highly inefficient at busy intersections. I have always disliked that idea and dont practice it like the majority of drivers I see.

    Lots of reasons here. To avoid a domino effect crash is one. I got in the habit at work, in case I need to respond to a call, with more room I can maneuver easier. In this day and age, not a bad idea for everyone to practice just in case you need to leave that scene in a hurry.
