You can go even bigger with your vision and awareness and planning. This comes with time and experience if you continually work on improving your vision. Why not use your eyes more? You are just sitting in the car and your eyes can scan anywhere. Why not get better and better at it?
Pretend you are looking at your driving situation from a drone high-up above you. This bird’s eye view of the entire situation shows you that cars generally travel in packs as they stop and go with the intersection light changes.
You can see huge space well out in front of the pack you are driving in, plus huge space behind the pack we are travelling with.
With this huge view you could easily time your movements to not be anywhere near the red-car conflict. Or, in the same light, you can perfectly time it to be there at precisely the conflict time.
So why did you stop 1 meter from the confused car? Why not move closer to 10 cm from them?
It is your choice.
Many skills are working together here, one of which is Space vs Object. It is all part of your intertangled skill sets. This is challenging for a new driver. And to be fair, it takes a lot of repetition for your New Driver to process the information as fast as an Experienced Driver. They need time. They need patience. Give it to them during your practice times and during their driving lessons times. Repeat repeat repeat Please.
