Why is it that drivers have to pull up right to your back bumper when we stop at a stoplight?

Question

Is that really necessary? People have to pull up within inches of my bumper! What if something hits them?

Answer 1

Because in today's world most people don't care about right or wrong. They are just concerned about their own benefit.

Answer 2

No, it's not necessary, they just don't think about it. If something hits them, then they hit you. Don't worry about it or you'll be a nervous wreck.

Answer 3

Because they are playing by American League rules, and they are the Designated @$$hole.

Answer 4

so the people who are parked dont try to wedge their bumper in between cars and take a "brody". i hate that. when im driving my 5 speed, i let my car roll back slightly so the person behind me gives me room . believe me, it works.

Answer 5

People drive close because they want into your personal space.  I suggest you consider a turn-about option:

I saw a rear license plate holder that employs LED lamps

within same width and two inches high to run left to right

five seperate one hundred and fifty characters of your own.
