    When I started driving I was taught to leave enough space between my car and the next car that I could turn out without any other car moving (in front or behind).

    If you snug up it limits your options

      It’s amazing how most drivers forget this.

      I had one person a few weeks ago blast his horn because he was “stuck” behind my car (I was taking a left he was going forward, one lane).

      If they had left enough space to see my cars back tires on the road they would have plenty of space to manoeuvre.
