What is the braking distance if you are driving at 50 km/h?
If you are driving at 50 km/h the braking distance – in ideal conditions – is 12.5 metres.
Braking distances in ideal conditions:
- 30 km/h: 4.5 metres
- 50 km/h: 12.5 metres
- 70 km/h: 24.5 metres
- 90 km/h: 40.5 metres
- 110 km/h: 60.5 metres
If the braking occurs in other than ideal conditions, the braking distance can be many times greater.
