Stopping Distances Rethink
Classic Car Mart
|October 2017
Road safety charity Brake has called for the government to extend the stopping distance in the UK Highway Code “as a matter of urgency” after it found the published figures were wanting.
-
Brake commissioned the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) to measure drivers’ thinking times; it concluded the Highway Code had underestimated how long it takes the average motorist to perceive, think and react to an emergency.
TRL found that the average thinking time was 1.5 seconds, more than double the 0.67 seconds printed in the Highway Code.
