I would have left it but now you called me blind

Actually you need to get your eyes checked it's not a meter or 2 the average length of a small car is about 1.5 meters
from your video the car in front of you is next to the white car at the front of the intersection there are 2 bmws (which are each about 4 meters long) with a gap of about a meter between them plus the what looks to be grey Micra that one is about 1.5 meters - you have left a gap of approximately 10 meters.

You think its funny but its impeding the flow of traffic.

This. That's excessive. 2-3 meters is not. If I was behind him I would have thought that he was distracted on his phone, and that's why he's not moving forward.

I asked if you are blind, I never said you are blind, but I guess you answered my question.

Once again you have failed to recognise the gap that I left to the car in front of me and the gap that was created AFTER that car moved and I refused to move forward. As I said to @Forum Reader, we'll have to agree to disagree, I see nothing wrong with not closing that gap left by the car in front moving while I am stationary at a red traffic light.

Please explain how I misjudged the distance that I stopped behind the car in front of me at the red traffic light...

i have explained how its a fact -its not my opinion - you only moved when the robot turned green - you had to cover the gap of 3 cars to get to the robot- it means 3 cars less will cross the robot - you just created a backlog
It starts with one it builds up

Look at the time stamp this is after - i don't think you realise what time we talking about -+30 seconds after that car moved forward you waited the robot only changed a while after and that gap was already 10 meters. and then you only moved.

You are 100% correct, it is completely fact that I moved only when the traffic light turned green, this has never been disputed. I completely dispute that I created a back log, at a stretch I could have given a few more cars the opportunity to get through the traffic light, but based on where I originally stopped I never created any back log.

I know exactly what you are talking about but you refuse to acknowledge the gap I left to the car in front, which was perfectly reasonable. The issue you have is that I didn't move when the car in front of me moved while the traffic light was still red, which I felt was unnecessary and one could even argue could be dangerous.

One of my pet peeves.
 
If someone creeps less than a car length I normally don't fill the gap as I have a manual car and don't ride on the clutch just to fill small gaps every few seconds. If the queue is long and standing still for long intervals I take the car out of gear as to minimise release bearing wear and fuel usage.
In the meantime I keep an eye on the robot and car queue so that my car is in gear and ready to move when the car in front of me starts moving.

the fact that you tried to claim it was only a meter and then show a picture where you also just admitted you know we were not referring to ?
and to end this :
What you did is not illegal, and in the same vain moving forward would not have been illegal as well.
Your claim of danger is just BS and you know it like i said it is quite inconsiderate (and clearly I am not the only one that thinks so).
