If you car takes 2 additional seconds to stop your vehicle has an extreme problem . 2 seconds is an eternity

It's not even just time. Going from 110km to stopping in average vehicles takes over 60m as well, you dont just apply the brakes and instantly stop at 110km, you travel a long distance before coming to a stop
Like I said, it's a pretty common misconception because we like to think we have spatial awareness from doing it all the time, but we are limited by biology and physics. I had to take a defensive driving course with my last job to be able to drive company vehicles and it's pretty eye opening when you learn the mechanics involved
