[Q] How
can I remember the total stopping distances? (These
figures are for dry conditions)
[A] If
you start at 20 mph, which is x 2 = 40 Feet, then 30
is x 2.5 and 40 is x 3 as follwows:

This only works
for measurement in feet, but you can always convert
back to metres. To convert to meters you can estimate this by dividing the distance in feet by 3.
