The fact you're converting to mph makes me think you might not be familiar with speed laws in Australia and what the expected traffic speed is on the average street.

78 is very much too fast

35m stopping distance is quoted for 50km/h. 78 km/h is 65m, or 10 car lengths. from the standard calculator, which assumes normal, non inebriated reactions. This bloke is cooked.
