How many feet does it take to stop a car traveling at 50 mph?

The distance it takes to stop a car traveling at 50 mph depends on several factors, including the vehicle's condition, road conditions, and the driver's reaction time. However, as a general guide, it is estimated that a car traveling at 50 mph on a dry road with good tires and brakes will require approximately 200 feet to come to a complete stop. This distance can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances, so it is important for drivers to be aware of the potential stopping distances and to adjust their driving accordingly.
