at 60 MPH? Out of interest as the Highway Code says no further than 60 ft

Depends how heavy the truck in front is. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y88/mellonfish/stoppingdistances.jpg indicates the highway code suggestions: at 60mph, 73 metres including reflex - that's with a braking efficiency of 70%, in the dry; a deceleration of 0.7g. The MOT brake test requires only 50% so if you've just passed it, you will take longer. If your brakes are in good condition and your car is light, you'll probably improve it.

Autocar November 1996: Stopping distances for 20vT (in dry) 30mph: 9.6 metres 50mph: 25.9 metres 70mph: 49.2 metres 100mph: 97.9 metres 60mph: 2.9 seconds It stops effectively, but pedal doesn't provide the feel or confidence we'd hope for in a car with such performance. Sorry no data for 60mph
F****** b****** thing...
