IMHO, when the traffic is very slow, it is OK to follow the car in front closer. So in your situation, it may not necessarily mean that you have been tailgating. There is always a need to give yourself at least two seconds to react to whatever that may happen suddenly though (such as the car in front braking abruptly). Incidentally, doing this may also boost your FE slightly.
Safe and happy motoring!
