It's the 2+ car lengths when at a traffic light that baffles me.

The entire time you spend sitting at a light after it turns green is solely to wait for those gaps to reappear.

The correct stopping distance, as I was told, is "far enough back to see where their back tires touch the ground". Pretty good rule of thumb. Gives more space for larger vehicles who may not see a jaywalker in front of them.

Nothing to gain by being right up the ass of the car in front of you. Unless maybe you realize you're blocking the entrance to a business/secondary street and you try to be "nice".
