Adjusting Your Speed to Driving Conditions ✔✔Stopping distances are longer at higher speeds
because a vehicle travels farther during the
driver's reaction time, and it takes more braking distance to come to a full stop.
if you are traveling 55 miles per hour your vehicle requires approximately 211 feet to stop
completely.
Driving at a high speed is more dangerous because each additional mile traveled per hour
reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle.
About 38 percent of all traffic fatalities involve alcohol. ✔✔Alcohol will first affect your
judgement— you may think you can drive safely when you cannot.
The amount of alcohol in a one-ounce shot of whiskey, five-ounce glass of wine and 12-ounce
bottle of beer is the same.
Black coffee, fresh air and cold showers DO NOT help someone to
become more sober — only time will help.
