Speed affects stopping distance

The time it takes to stop a vehicle can be broken into two parts:
  • the time taken to process the situation and 
  • the time needed to instigate the correct response. 
Generally it will take about one and a half seconds to process the situation (reaction time) and a further one and a half seconds to take action (response time), a total of 3 seconds.
