timeGapOnLane is based on the front-bumper-to-back-bumper distance whereas
the tau value applies to the distance front+minGap-to-back-bumper.
One simple way to achieve the desird heaways is to set minGap=0.

However, due to the bug https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/9831 you
should either set step-length = 0.1 or upgrade to the latest development
version.
