Speeding is often a hot topic, especially when it comes to braking and stopping quickly.

When you apply the brakes heavily wanting to stop (e.g. a car/ dog stops in front of you) at the following speeds, it will take a certain length of road before you actual stop (that is if you do not hit the object first).

Speed                                  Distance

50 km/h                                  29m

60 km/h                                  38m

70 km/h                                  48m

80 km/h                                  59m

90 km/h                                  70m

Statistics compiled by the NRMA in 2003 found that:

  • Driving at 65 km/h doubles the risk of an accident compared to driving at 60 km/h
  • Speeding results in around 40% of all road deaths (Australia)
