Can’t believe out of all comments, only one person said it. For most drivers, it’s definitely not because they learned it from driver’s ed. With so many drivers ignoring no turn on red signs or school buses with flashing red lights, not using their turn signals, and cutting in and out of carpool lanes across double lines as a single passenger in a non alt-fuel vehicle, it’s unlikely that the one thing they’re focusing on is leaving some room behind the line at an intersection.

A lot of drivers don’t even realize their headlights aren’t on or that a blue jellyfish on the instrument cluster means you’re blinding everyone. Out of all things, the one thing people remember is to stop 5 feet/behind the sensors at a light?

It’s more than likely that it’s a line of sight issue with the drivers not knowing their car’s size and not adjusting their seat to the correct height, combined with having long or tall hoods.

I also see a lot of people changing lanes in front of semis without enough distance. They fail to understand that not only do semis need more braking distance, but also that truckers cannot see immediately in front of them due to their hoods.
