- If your speed doubles, your braking distance also roughly doubles.
- The centrifugal force acting on a car in a curve grows in direct proportion to its speed.
- Stopping distance means the distance the car travels from the moment the brakes start to work until it comes to a stop.
- On a road wet with rain and with worn tires, both the free running (reaction) distance and the braking distance become at least twice as long.
- On rainy days, visibility is poor and the braking distance is longer, so it is good practice to keep about twice the following distance you would keep on a clear day.
- On snowy or icy roads, it is good practice to keep a following distance about 3 times what you would keep on a clear day.
