A CAR SHOW did an experiment years ago and they lined up most of the current family cars a few sports cars and a 4x4 the had them all driving at the same speed until a stop sign meaning an emergency stop the sports cars stopped first and the 4x4 was worse.Which country has the worst drivers ??
RoSPA gives truck braking distances but not cars. European NCAP rating doesn't take braking into consideration. Highway Code says braking distance is speed^2/20+speed=breaking distance in feet. Get a medium sized car with electronic (not mechanical) ABS, don't be a hooligan and you'll be OK.Why is pete's automotive on 108 east avenue closed?
I'm not sure about metric distances but distances in feet are as follows:30 mph = 75 Ft
40 mph = 120 ft
50mph = 175 ft
60 mph = 240 ft
70 mph = 315 ft
These figures are or were printed on the back of The Highway Code.
They are dependent on road conditions (dry) and car and tyres in good condition.
Hope this helps.
My car is a freaking piece. I need some suggestions.?
The stopping distances on the back of the Highway Code haven't been revised since the 1960's, when most cars had drum brakes with no servo assistance, let alone ABS, EBD etc. any decent modern car (not 4x4 truck) will pull up within 60-70% of these figures. Generally the faster a car can go, the better its brakes are. Speaking from experience, Porsches have amazing brakes!!More Questions & Answers ...
