There is one other little detail that seems to be overlooked here. The momentum of your car increases with the square of the velocity. Stopping from 100MPH to zero much more than twice as long as from 50MPH to zero. The impact is much greater for a small increment in velocity. So, not only does your reaction time drop, but your ability to stop in a reasonably distance does too.
