Question

At 55 mph it will take you approximately _____ feet to stop the car.?

Answer 1

besides all of the other factors such as weight, tire tread,composition, condition, road surface type and condition, brake condition, weather, etc....

it takes a rested, alert driver in reasonable condition approx. 1-1/2 seconds to get the message from their brain to their foot, and their foot onto the brake pedal. With all conditions being ideal, you are looking at around 200 feet. (remember 300 feet is a football field from goal to goal) below is a link to a really good site on the subject.

Answer 2

the avarage is 100 feet at 55

Answer 3

68m or 210 feet    under ideal conditions

Weather and road conditions, as well as type of vehicle and weight of load being carried can also affect stopping distance.
