How many meters does it take to stop when braking suddenly at 70 mph?
1 Answers
Taking the Passat as an example, the braking distance for a sudden stop at 70 mph is 32.5 meters. The braking distance at 30 km/h is 6.2 meters; at 40 km/h, it's 10 meters; at 50 km/h, it's 14.2 meters; at 60 km/h, it's 22.85 meters; and at 70 and 80 km/h, the braking distances are 32.5 meters and 44 meters, respectively. Here are some additional hazards of frequent sudden braking: 1. Increased fuel consumption. 2. Affects tire lifespan and increases wear. 3. Reduces engine lifespan. 4. Decreases the lifespan of the clutch system. 5. Shortens the lifespan of brake pads and brake discs.
