I don’t have a license or car. A friend of mine posted a story on IG driving at 300 km/h on the highway. I know it’s fast, but just how fast in terms of driving?

    That is almost 3 times the highway speed limit and roughly 83 m/s if I got the math right. At that speed the car will travel 40m on average before you even press the brake pedal, then the average car will take probably about 1s (which I think is conservatively low) of emergency braking to stop (or almost), traveling another 83m.
