Why should you leave extra space behind your vehicle when stopped in traffic, not just in front?

Pick an answer

1. It mainly gives you room to pull forward if someone bumps you from behind, not to prevent a hit, something that rarely comes up around front
2. Space behind only matters when the vehicle is parked overnight
3. It gives you room to maneuver forward if you're bumped from behind, and helps if you need to move without backing immediately
4. It is only relevant for vehicles towing a trailer
