SAFE STOPPING
DEPENDS up ON
HUMAN ELEMENT

What is the shortest distance re-
quired to stop your car going at a
certain speed in an emergency?
The answer to this, in the opinion
OF Il. w. Weaver. Cleveland engineer,
depends on two things:
First-Condition OF brakes and the
road surface.
Second - Time required for the
driver to sense an emergency before
applying the brakes.
OF these conditions the second is
most important. says Weaver. Tests
have set certain minimum distances
for stopping. based on knowledge of
brakes and road surfaces, in relation
to the various speeds OF the motor
car
For instance, Sc feet has been fixed
as the minimum distance required to
stop a car with good brakes, going
so miles an hour on dry, level road.
With poor brakes on a slippery road
the distance is 25S feet.
But the human element must also
be considered, says Weaver, He fig
ures it takes one-half a second for
an experienced driver to sense an
emergency before he begins to apply
the brakes. In this one-hah second
of time, at a speed of SO miles an
hour, the car will have gone % feet
Therefore, in stopping an automo-
bile from a speed OF 80 miles an hour,
for example the total distance re-
quired would be 10S feet. with good
brakes and dry. level road; ESQ feet,
with poor brakes and slippery road,
Other distances can be judged with
the aid of a chart Weaver has pre-
pared, dependent on the cars speed
and the drivers own alertness in
sensing the emergency
