Any regular passenger vehicle traveling at a speed of 20 mph should stop within a distance of 25 feet, once the brake is applied. At 35 mph, the distance will be approximately 106 feet. At 55 mph, it will be approximately 228 feet. An increase speed will always result in longer stopping distances. In addition, factors such as road and weather conditions and traffic density also affect the vehicle's stopping distance.

According to the UK Highway Code, a car's total stopping distance (including thinking distance) is:

50 mph 53 feet

60 mph 72 feet

So for 55 mph it would be approximately 62.5 feet.

These distances depend on road conditions, and the driver's reactions at the time.

100 ft

Dry paved road 228 ft. ABS will reduce that distance a bit.
