Why did my car not stop before I hit the car?

I was looking at the bus on my left for about 3 seconds, and then immediately I found a car at a full stop in front of me that was about 20 meters away from me. I slammed the brakes and I was skidding long enough but I still managed to hit the car, hard. I was not speeding or in a rush, BUT I was certain that I was under 80km/h.

It was raining at that time too, thought this would help...

So now my front bumper is like pushed in, not a big deal, but $1000 damage... the back of the other car looks like scratched, but it's broken, and the screw of my licence plate came into her rear. No offense, but the idea of that made me laugh.
lol im not worried or anything, i understand my faults, but i just wanted to know the math... like i just learned recently about hypo planing, so that's pretty awesome that i experienced that. lol
braking was new.
