6.5.4.3.1 Stopping distance
| Content | Key opportunities for skills development |
|---|---|
The stopping distance of a vehicle is the sum of the distance the vehicle travels during the driver’s reaction time (thinking distance) and the distance it travels under the braking force (braking distance). For a given braking force the greater the speed of the vehicle, the greater the stopping distance. |
