A good rule of thumb, however, it to follow no closer than 2 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.

Most cars can stop from 60 mph in about 100 feet or so. If the relationship is linear then a car should stop from 30 mph in about 50 feet.
Stopping Distance = about 56.25 feet.
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.
30 feet
175 feet. The Oregon Drivers Handbook calculates it at closer to 240 feet. (of course many factors can make it more or less distance.)
50 Mph X 3.5 = 175 feet = 53.3 metressee http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/garage/stopmph.htm for explanation and various equations
Under favorable conditions, including reaction time, a motor vehicle with good brakes traveling at 50 miles per hour can be stopped within approximately 133 feet. This distance can vary based on factors such as road conditions, tire traction, and driver's reaction time.
The stopping distance when driving at 50 mph can vary based on factors such as road conditions and vehicle weight. As a rough estimate, the average stopping distance at 50 mph is around 175-225 feet. It is important to maintain a safe following distance and be prepared to brake gradually to avoid collisions.

Most cars can stop from 60 mph in about 100 feet or so. If the relationship is linear then a car should stop from 30 mph in about 50 feet.
The total stopping distance for a car travelling at 30 mph on a dry surface is about 75 feet. However, you may wish to note that in most countries, driving a car on the pavement is illegal.
depending on the hp/weight and traction, street cars 35-50mph
