Light stop

Were dogs divinely given the ability to drive cars they would learn the correct way to pull up to a red light and stop.  People take circuitous paths to this destination.  Some, those who do it correctly, are in touch with the length of their vehicle and simply pull up to the exact spot that is to quote the porridge temperature from Goldilocks and the Three Bears "just right."  Others get in the accepted percentile for not getting it right but they are in the church, just a few pews off from exact.  Then there is the person driving the Tuscon that did the all-time worst approach to being the first vehicle in the left turn lane in the long history of driving.  They stopped three car lengths shy of nailing the line and over a full minute of time-lapse photography,  pulled up two feet at a time, many times, until they reached the goal line.  That is not how they draw it up in driver's training school.
