So you think there is merit in memorizing speed vs stopping distances? Not to the milimetre. Just leave yourself enough(experience of driving the car) room (either following other vehicles or approaching lights etc) so that you don't get the vapours if you have to stop. Also be aware of what's behind you, I cannot abide people who don't use their mirrors both rear view and wings, at all times in case you do have to 'slam on'. |

So you think there is merit in memorizing speed vs stopping distances? We spell it as "memorising" in UK English. That's because you are Johny-come-latelies. I'll swap my dictionary over just for you. |
