at 50mph a car is doing an average 22 metres per second and an overal stopping distance is an average 175 feet which is 50 feet thinking distance and 125 feet breaking distance and its all that x 2 in wet conditons and x 10 in ice conditions

Yes this all depends on your make and model car. This would also depend on any modifications that you would make to boost power. The more power you add, the longer your stopping distance will be. This can be corrected by upgrading your brakes.
According to one web site, the average stopping distance for a passenger car is about 190 feet. This may be more or less, depending on what you are driving.

Rule of thumb one car length for each 10 miles an hour and add 30 feet for reaction time. Drive Safe

If a car is coming in the opposite direction in the same lane, about 3 inches.

175feet or 53 metres. MINIMUM
That is assuming that your brakes and tyres are in good order and you are concentrating on your driving
