Two car lengths, maybe?
The correct process is to be able to see where the rear tires of the vehicle in front of you touch the pavement. If you can't see the pavement & rear tire confluence, you are too close.
If folks followed this simple defensive driving process, when the light turns green or at other vehicle lineups, everyone in line would be able to start forward at a slow pace and increase speeds as the distance between vehicles increases. This would take the "accordion" effect out of a line of vehicles as they move forward at a green light, etc. This is just food for thought and only worth what you paid for it.
