Maybe in anywhere USA but not in the heavily congested areas. If it's off hours and no one is on the road, then the 1 car length for every 10 mph is fine.
The Rule of Thumb I use: When the car infront passes any stationary item it has to take me 2 seconds to reach the same spot. I got this from Rules of the Road and it works. I would love to say that I always use this rule, but in some situations it's not practical - still - a good rule of thumb IMO
