You might be in good condition but what about the road condition (wet, icy), the state of you tyres (good tread or worn), the state of your brakes?

The best estimate for the total stopping distance of a car traveling at 66 kilometers per hour would depend on various factors such as road conditions, vehicle condition, and driver reaction time. However, a rough estimate could be around 40 meters to 55 meters.
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.

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.

44feet
Not enough information in your question. It will depend on multiple factors, like vehicle weight, vehicle condition, tire condition, road surfacing and type of road surfacing, driver reaction speed.
It depends on the reaction time of the driver. This could be affected by his reaction speed or whether he is intoxicated. In any case the faster he is travelling the longer the thinking distance will be.
Speed, weight of vehicle, condition of road surface, condition of tires, and reaction time of the driver.
Distance is not a chemical property, so it should be looked up in physical or mechanical textbooks. Ask: What formula distance has?
Physical reaction.
Speed, reaction time, car's mass, tires, mechanical condition & type of brakes.
Reaction distance is the distance a vehicle will travel before the operator can react to what is observed. This distance will vary depending on the speed of the vehicle. The reaction distance is actually the reaction time of the operator.
It is a physical property not a reaction
The total stopping distance includes the perception distance, reaction time and braking distance. The distance that your vehicle is traveling and then pressing on the brake after seeing a hazard, is the total stopping distance.
It is physical. Density is not a reaction, it is a physical property of a substance.
