At 65mph, you cover two car lengths (~30 ft) in about 1/3 of a second.

Typically human reaction time for braking is about 1.5 seconds.

If something went seriously wrong in front of you (like a sideways car, or a hidden obstacle in front of the car in front of you) you would have covered 10 car lengths before your foot touches the brake pedal.
