Help please: When driving at 55mph how many feet do u need to stop?

Question

200, 300, 400, or 500 ft?

Answer 1

OK,,, I just can't resist.

You only need one foot to stop, but you must press the brake with it.  

Distance to stop,,,well,,,if on a test, it's 200.  If in the real world, it's 2 seconds.  Allow at least 2 seconds between you and the car in front of you.  At low speeds, this is a small distance, at faster speeds, this is a greater distance.  It's much easier to count 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi when the lead car passes a sign, than it is to estimate feet.

Answer 2

200 ft

Answer 3

Have 5 car lengths between you and the car in front>If on your phone or I pod 6 or more>

Answer 4

200 feet but really 155 feet.

Answer 5

that depends on the weight of the vehicle . tire grip and braking performance,
