Can You Slam on the Brakes at 120 km/h?

[Mallory]

You should not slam on the brakes at 120 km/h, as this can easily cause the wheels to lock up, leading to loss of vehicle control with very serious consequences. The following are the requirements for safe following distance and braking precautions during high-speed driving: Safe following distance requirements during high-speed driving: When driving at speeds above 100 km/h, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters. When driving at speeds above 60 km/h, the safe following distance should be numerically equal to the speed. On highways, each dashed lane divider line is 6 meters long, with a 9-meter gap between lines. The total distance of two white lines plus the gap in between is 21 meters, which drivers can use as a simple way to estimate following distance. Braking precautions during high-speed driving: When decelerating during high-speed driving, always press the brake pedal slowly and maintain firm control of the steering wheel throughout the braking process.
