I see this all the time. People leave one or two car lengths in front of their car. I think it's stupid. But my daughter was taught to do this in driver training. In case you get rear-ended. While this makes sense and is probably a good idea, I still think it's stupid. In 50 years of driving, I've never been rear ended at a stop light. I prefer to take my chances and not live in fear. Although, I do use a rope while rock climbing.
