Back when I was in Drivers' Ed. class the rule was one car length per each 10 mph speed. Of course if you're using km/h the math is different. Maybe .7 car length per each 10 km/h??
Anyway, I find it easy to derive and visually estimate 6 car lengths from 60 mph but I know an intelligent adult who once asked how many quarters there are in a dollar... Different strokes, as they say.
