Dunno if anyone remembers the tag line on NTUC Taxi’s in the old days “You’re too close for COMFORT” bumper stickers

I also will wait about 2 seconds but never got the chance to honk

because the guy behind me will honk

Many drivers maybe they place their hand on the horn, they honk immediately the light turned green and if the car infront no move off. Think not even 2 sec.

Saw this in fb and cannot agree more.

 

creates a bigger gap and thus slows traffic more.

 

there seems to be a larger gap between cars nowadays. More n more cars leaving gaps of 1-2 car lengths. What gives? Got ghost cars around us ah?

 

anyone noticed too?

0.75 to 1 is fine but I see those leaving like a bus length gap

these are drivers vying for the most courteous drivers award. They are getting ready to allow other drivers to anytime cut into their lane in front of them. Exact opp of causeway/custom traffic...

I stop 1.5 car lengths behind the car is front. Wider than this, an impatient Q-cutter (usually OHV) will cut in from his Q at the side to save 1 car length.  

Why 1.5 car length? Because I take off at the same time as the car in front. I do not wait for him/her to take off then I do the same. The 1.5 car lengths gives me enough safety margin in case he stops after taking off due to the car in front of him stopping first.

My MIL stops far far from the car in front at traffic lights because she wants to play handphone.

My MIL always tailgate people on highways is because she wants to get there faster.

So that's why big gap at traffic lights but small gap on highways.

:D
