What is space management in driving?

What is my instructor talking about when he uses the term space management in driving? Apparently, it’s something I need to work on, but I don’t fully understand what it means.

Space management in driving is exactly what it sounds like: managing the space around your car. In other words, it refers to maintaining a safe distance between your car and others on the road, particularly those in front of and to the sides of you.
To accomplish this you’ll need to:
  • Adjust your speed
  • Stay in your lane
  • Properly signal before making a move
You may find that you need to drive more slowly than you’d like, but try not to let frustration lead to
unsafe driving behaviors
