Stopping distances
12 Answers
Not really road rules as such but anyway �Doing a little reading today on stopping distances (these things I fill my day with) and the highway code states that it can take up to 96 metres/315 feet/24 car lengths to stop a car at 70mph. Fine. In terms of the fact that that is supposed to multiply by ten in snow/ice, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, does this actually happen? If you are travelling 70mph would it really take over HALF A MILE to stop in snow?! (240 car lengths!) Seems quite far to me. Has this ever happened to anyone?
