When a vehicle stops more than 2 car lengths behind the white line at a stop sign or stop light OR when a vehicle leaves more than 2 car lengths of space in front of it, and the vehicle in question is not a big rig or box truck.
Most offenders are paying attention to their phones instead of the road. In an attempt to drive cautiously, these people leave *too much* space in front of them.
If there is enough space for you to parallel park in front of the vehicle, then that vehicle has performed a San Diego Stop.
This often morphs in to a California Roll if the offender comes upon a stop sign, or a San Diego Swerve if the offender is making a turn.

I noticed this lady next to me at the light had performed a San Diego Stop- I looked inside the window, and she was stuck on her phone! The lady was absolutely NOT paying attention to the road, or to the light for that matter which had turned green! SMH

When a driver swerves in to the next lane to make an unnecessarily wide turn (or an illegal u-turn), despite the fact that there is plenty of space, needlessly endangering the vehicle to their left or right.
Often paired with other poor driving habits, such as the California roll, a San Diego Stop, or a San Francisco Stop (stopping more than 1/2 car length beyond the white line at a stop light).

Don't you just love it when someone rides the bicycle lane all the way up to the light, then pulls a hard San Diego Swerve while turning right on a red without stopping, nearly side-swiping your stopped car for no fucking reason?
