Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
What does the Nova Scotia handbook’s stopping-distance example at 80 km/h show about looking ahead?
Correct answer: About 140 metres even in ideal conditions, so look well ahead.
Why
The handbook illustrates about 140 metres of total stopping distance at 80 km/h. Total distance includes the distance travelled while reacting and while braking. Actual stopping distance varies with the driver, vehicle and road, so keep scanning well ahead and allow more room when conditions are poor.
