If my math is right... assuming straight line acceleration, that would take about 236 feet.
3 sec to 60 mph = 4 sec to 80 mph = 4 sec @ avg of 40 mph
40 mph = 211,200 ft/hr = 59 ft/sec * 4 sec = 236 feet
Of course, there's no guarantees about my math.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
