Rather than remembering a list of the distances, you can calculate them instead using this method. It works for calculating the distances in feet. For example going 20mph has a factor of 2. Multiply the speed by the factor (2) to get 40 feet on a dry surface. Each increase in speed by 10mph increases the factor by 0.5.
So if you are traveling at 60mph, the factor is 4.5 giving a stopping distance of 315 feet.
