Has anyone got any recent data on real world stopping distances?
The figures on the back of the Highway Code seem to relate to supertankers!
I have figures for my Noble, but I am interested in mid-range family salons.
Thanks
It isn't very scientific, but at Lydden a few years ago I averaged a fraction over 1G braking from around 100 to standstill. That's on road tyres that started out cold, on a dry track.
30mph 1 mile
40mph 3 miles
50mph 9miles
70mph 25miles with a parachute
40miles without
71mph = 15 children 4 cats and a rainforest.
