Sure, but exactly how does this apply when none of the cars are moving?
As for leaving multiple car lengths between cars when you're in a turn lane, think about what happens if everyone does that. You have a long tailback creating a hazard as cars wanting to turn can't get into the turn lane, and stop in the travel lane.
