If those are the Highway Code ones
they were written when everyone drove shit cars like Cortinas with crossply tyres, live axles and drum brakes. Modern cars stop way quicker than that.
What hasn't got any better though is the meatsack behind the wheel.

No, cos the thinking distance before you hit the pedal is 30ft

If your everyday reaction time is consistently under 0.3 of a second
a) you're in the wrong job and b) I'd expect your typing to be better

Prick can't even control his car.

stopping distance at 30mph is about 70 ft
so he would be still 60ft after mowing down the fuckwit...

bollocks it is, what are your brakes made out of milk bottle tops?

25 yards from 30mph?
Maybe if you lock your brakes.

Most cars now have ABS
and bloody effective it is too. Though apparently a lot of drivers don't brake hard enough in an emergency stop, too.

My car has automatic brake sensors
that recognise if you are panic braking and apply them a bit harder
