Key Stage 4
Meaning
Thinking distance is the distance a car travels between the moment a hazard appears and the moment the driver responds to it by applying the brakes.
About Stopping Distance
Thinking distance depends on:
- The speed of the vehicle - The greater the speed the larger the thinking distance.
- The reaction time of the driver - The longer the reaction time the longer the thinking distance and therefore stopping distance.
