Any time I see people wearing these, my first thought is that these are “high-speed, BJ glasses”

I recall i was driving with a friend, and he was surprised I pulled up, leaving only a feet between my car and the car in front of me. I asked him why.

He said he grew up in an area prone to car-jackings. His dad taught him to leave that extra space in case someone tries to car-jack you. The extra space is so you’re not boxed in by the driver in front and can get around them no matter what. Even if you have to jump the curb and escape on the sidewalk.

I agree that the sensor lights are annoying to deal with, but perhaps the driver has a reason.
