Best Answer

For a car with good brakes and a length of 4m, a dry road with a driver with average reaction time it will take approximately 36m/118 feet/nine car lengths for it to stop. This can be divided up into two sections the thinking distance/reaction distance of 12m and a braking distance of 24m.

Like the previous answer stated the braking distance can be changed depending on the road surface type and weather conditions or if the car is fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System

Thinking distance can be increased by drinking alcohol or taking some types of drugs.
