There is too many factors to narrow the stopping distance down to a specific stopping distance. One of these factors is speed many people often are going to fast in icy condition causing horrible car pile-ups and many crashes. People need to be more cautious in icy conditions.

Stopping distance
The stopping distance of a car increases.
you're a tool. dependant upon inertia, stopping surface, braking potential, weight. lots of factors. a car may have ABS or not. this affects the final distance
Stopping distance also increases.
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
The greater the mass of the car and its occupants the longer the stopping distance that is required for the vehicle. Stopping distance is calculated by taking into account car mass and reaction time in braking

Speed, reaction time, car's mass, tires, mechanical condition & type of brakes.

driving safely Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires What factors affect the thinking distance:
yes its 622 feet, but the state of the driver does not affect the stopping distance of a car. this is only affected by the mass of the car and the state the brake pads are in. so you can be drunk or sobre but the stopping distance will always be the same, its the thinking distance that is affected by the state of mind the driver is in. The stopping distance of a car most certainly IS affected by the state of the driver in question, due to braking systems not being specifically on or off, rather being sensitive to the pressure applied to them. If the driver in question brakes too hard, or too softly, then the stopping distance will change, obviously.
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96
