Indeed, it seems that many drivers' field of view ends about one
car length in front of their vehicle.

Drive in the right lane on a lightly traveled freeway (pass on the
left if you encounter slower traffic in the right lane, then return
to the right lane when you are safely past). If a faster vehicle
comes up behind you, it will probably come to tailgating distance
and tailgate you for a while before passing, even though the left
lane was empty the whole time. Or worse, will just tailgate you
forever ("duckling" behavior) unless you actively try to lose it
(by speeding up and/or slowing down).
