This braking distance afaik came about in the 70s ???

no adjustment for the power of brakes since

Or bald tyres :)
 
What is the braking distance for a car at 50mph?
125 feet. The way I was taught braking distance is 5x50/2 at 50mph which is 125 feet. (3x30/2 for 30 mph, 6x60/2 at 60mph etc). The thinking distance is the same in feet as speed in mph so 50 feet. Total stopping distance at 50 mph would be 175 feet.
