When I was faced with the stopping distance questions on the practice tests I would work it out by imagining how the distances look on a road rather than by memorising the figures. @Ryan

This is something you learn quickly when travelling at 120mph on the M5 (I should imagine). Also, stopping distances are, by and large, almost completely fictional in this modern world of ABS and Goodyear SuperGripTastic tyres.
