Great now do SUVs for the Americans. Go ahead and assume they are not simultaneously being shot at just for the purpose of keeping the simulation simple.

Local news:
"The officer spotted a grey BMW going 87 MPH in a 40 MPH zone"
For our European friends:
87 MPH = 140 KPH
40 MPH = 64.4 KPH

Kinetic energy = mass*velocity^2 in action. Faster you go the harder you stop.
Jokes on you, I don't know kilometers
somebody posted this in the comment above yours 13 minutes before you commented ☞
So multiply by 0.62.
I believe in you, this is what all those years in grade school trained you for.
Awe, thanks. I memba grade school.
I remember a public safety ad being shown that showed the difference in either 30 and 35mph or 30 and 40mph. Was quite dramatic.
This one was quite widespread in UK TV, it was one of the first government films to use such shocking imagery and dark themes, 40mph vs 30mph. it's probably a bit mild by today's standards, but it was notorious at the time..
That’s the one. I also seem to remember a version where it showed the car with locked up brakes and where it would have stopped, on a street in a town/city.
Edit; Found it.
Now do light rail, trains, and busses.
Those tend to be more predictable than cars in terms of where they'll be
Roads. Cars and busses will be on roads.
Tracks. Trains and light rail will be on tracks.
I’d say both are pretty predictable.
