How many seconds will it take for a car to stop if it is traveling at a speed of 40 miles per hour?
Stopping distances are measured in feet not in seconds. At 40 mph you're traveling 58.7 feet per second. The average driver reaction time is about 3/4 second which equates to 44 feet. After applying the brakes it will take approximately 82 feet to stop the vehicle. The total stopping distance for a car traveling 40 mph will be 126 feet when you include reaction time and actual stopping distance of the vehicle. If you divide 126' x 58.7' which is the distance traveled per second you get 2.14 seconds. This is assuming you're paying attention and have average reaction time while driving.

The safe following distance is one car length for each 10 miles per hour. If you are traveling at 40 mph, one should allow a minimum of 4 car lengths between you and the traveling object in front of you. Allow more room for a motorcycle in case they wipe out (fall and crash) in front of you.
