Does anybody know why people have started doing this recently. It's in DC as well.

They’re referencing squeegee kids (I think). You stop short then slowly idle forwards if someone walks towards you

That makes sense in Balt. But why are they doing it in DC? I have seen exactly one squeegee person in DC.

It is people not originally from the area who have been told to not get too close to the car in front of them so that they can get away if someone tries ro rob them.

I was making a joke about people being terrified of squeegee kids. Don’t have an answer for you re: D.C. but I’ve noticed since the pandemic everyone’s constantly driving like it’s their first day on the road.
