How do I work out stopping distances?
Stopping distances are not easy to remember.
Unless you know a way to work it out.
we can tell you here.
It takes a bit of maths, but don't panic! All you need to do is multiply the speed by intervals of 0.5, starting with 2. That’ll give you the stopping distance in feet, which is acceptable for the theory test. For example…
20mph x 2 = 40 feet
30mph x 2.5 = 75 feet
40mph x 3 = 120 feet
50mph x 3.5 = 175 feet
60mph x 4 = 240 feet
70mph x 4.5 = 315 feet
There are 3.3 feet in a metre – so divide the distance in feet by 3.3 to get the stopping distance in metres. generally you would need a calculator for that, but you will find its not necessary for the theory test.
