On the A35 near Nijverdal you are driving 100 km/h in the right-hand lane. What is your braking distance per the book formula?
- ✓ 50.00 m
- 100.00 m
- 200.00 m
Correct answer: 50.00 m
Explanation
(speed:10)² : 2 — don't forget the division: (10x10):2 = 50.00 m
Why learners get this wrong
- (speed:10)² : 2 — don't forget the division: (10x10):2 = 50.00 m
- Braking distance is quadratic, not linear: 100 km/h gives (10x10):2 = 50.00 m, not double some earlier figure
