Oh, certainly if it’s a significant gap, more than a car length more than I would normally stop, I’ll shift forwards, especially in high density situations (if nobody is behind me and I’m not blocking a laneway, then I’ll probably just sit there).
Something to add to the consideration is that I drive standard, so moving a small amount is a lot more difficult for me than most drivers, and takes more active effort. Most AT drivers just release the brake for a few seconds and they can close the gap. I have to release the clutch and possibly press the throttle to ensure the engine doesn’t stall… Etc.
I’ll still do it, but my tolerance for a gap in front of me is much higher than others.
Fair enough. I may have taken meaning that you didnt intend from your comment. I had assumed you were purposfully holding up traffic because you were teying to point out somebody else being dumb on the road.

But totally fair enough.
