Many have the opposite problem...not knowing how close they can get. 
When instructing, I tell them to run over the bases of key cones.  I
find that instead of being 10 feet off the cone, they would only 3 feet
off it.  They think they are running them over.  Takes time to learn the
corners for sure.
