Important Numbers:

Reaction time: 1 second (average driver)
Following distance: 2 seconds

Equations:

Following Distance Calculation: Following Distance (m) = (Speed / 2) + 10% (Speed / 2) or 1.1 (speed/2)
Reaction Distance Calculation: Reaction Distance (m) = (Speed / 10) * 3
Braking Distance Calculation: Reaction Distance (m) = ((Speed / 10) * (Speed / 10)) / 2
Stopping Distance: Stopping Distance = Reaction Distance + Braking Distance

Examples of Following Distances:

30 km/h: 16.5 meters
50 km/h: 27.5 meters
100 km/h: 55 meters
