The problem with what you describe (even putting aside any discussion of propreity) is that you’re putting yourself in danger if you’re doing 60 or more mph and you’re leaving such a small space between you and the car in front of you - this is how multi-car accidents occur when the lead car hits a deer or has some other reason to stop suddenly.

If I can’t see through the car in front of me to what is ahead of them effectively, I never do it. It’s also kinda fun and keeps me on my toes. It’s only resulted in an accident once, and that was in 1977. I’ve put well over a million miles under me since then. It’s become my driving style.
The biggest problem I have is when I drive “boring”, it puts me to sleep. That is, I make mistakes. Call me an Adrenalin junkie or whatever, but to stay focused on my driving I need to be taxing my skills, or I get way too complacent and stop paying attention.
BTW, I got excellent dash cam footage in my FR-S of me missing a deer at 67 MPH that came literally within inches of my front driver-side corner. It darted out from the left and I did a quick wheel jerk to miss it. It was enough, apparently...
For fun I like to watch those crash compilations on youtube. They are very instructional.
