The other pet peeve is the "gaters" at the red light will leave 3 car lengths between them and the next car....I was taught to leave 6 feet here , more cars can pass through on the green cycle.
People need to realize they shouldn't tailgate !
" I did nothing wrong"....yes you did ...you were tailgating and most people don't like it. Show some care and caution.

Rule of thumb I learned is if stop so you can see where the rear tires on the car in front of you is contacting the pavement, you have enough room to not be blocked in. If you can't see the rear tires of the car ahead of you contacting the ground, you're too close.
