IMO yards would be better measurement number.
If two cars (both going 60 mph) are 500 feet apart and are approaching each other, they are going 176 feet per second and they will meet in 2.84 seconds.

Hard to believe you got a warning for the 30 foot difference!! That is .17 seconds. How did the cop measure the distance?
