Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light?

I got the advice once to make sure you can see the bottom of the tires in front of you. As a general rule, your turning radius tends to align with that. This falls apart with big trailers and snub nose trucks, but it’s a good start.

I think this advice made more sense when the majority drove reasonably-sized vehicles rather than the huge trucks and SUVs that pollute our roads now (at least in North America).
I wouldn’t be surprised if this bit of advice contributes to the problem in OP.

That’s likely true. I drive a little car, so it still makes sense for me

Thanks for not participating in the vehicular arms race!

I would bike more for utility if there were places to park it safely (though I would have to add the rack back onto the bike, and it interferes with the tag-along)
