[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed this too, and I always look at the driver to see if I can detect a pattern.

It is almost always a person who by appearances seems to be either an immigrant from another continent (or perhaps, the child of said immigrants).  I have to conclude that this is a common cultural behavior among the countries on this continent.  [/quote]

In countries with high risks of carjacking, you leave at least a car length so you can easily drive off if someone comes up and tries to rob you. You're not boxed in.

Actually in some places, at night red lights are optional for safety reasons. You have to come to a full stop, then if no cars are around, you can drive through it. Otherwise you're a sitting duck to be robbed.[/quote]

Also in countries where there are a lot of older vehicles, it makes sense to leave enough space in front of you so you can get out from behind a broken down vehicle. But I don't see how that applies in the NOVA suburbs when most of the cars are under 10 years old.[/quote]
