      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.
