This asserts you are going to keep your eye on the rear mirror. Once another pulls up behind you might as well go ahead to the line. Sometimes they will just sit where they stopped initially giving you even more protection.
I always wondered what would happen if you saw you were going to be rear ended and lifted off the brake. You're still gonna get hit most times.

Many times I've seen drivers having to back up so that the semi driver can clear the turn.

I always leave room if I see a rig coming.
