Yes, this! ^^^

So at a speed of 30 MPH, when one perceives a threat, they will have traveled about 66 feet before they even begin to brake, or take other evasive action. That is also assuming an ideal level of attention, which is not always the case. For every second delay at 30 MPH, add another 45 feet.
