The problem with this is if it's a long enough line, there could be a persom trying to get into a turning lane and they can't because you have a big ass gap between you and the car in front. That means the person could miss their light because they can't get over.
It's fine if you look behind you and you're not cutting someone off from a light or turning.
If I can’t get in the turning lane I’m sitting behind the last person who is, most people in my state recognize this as totally fine and will deal with the lane blockage
I agree. I try to keep my situational awareness at very high levels while I'm behind the wheel, so in high density traffic, I'm looking for issues exactly like you describe. I'll move if there's enough room to move into and I see something that might be solved simply by moving (or I'm unable to rule out that it won't help, due to being unable to see enough).
