If you are in the intersection you can take as much time as you need to complete the turn safely.

Not here you can't. In NZ it's illegal to enter an intersection unless your exit is clear, otherwise you block the intersection for other users. If you cannot completely exit the intersection then don't enter it.

We're generally smart enough we don't rear-end each other just because we cannot understand why the car in front is still stopped on a green, especially where we can see that the other side of the intersection is blocked.
