How to Calculate Safe Distance?
1 Answers
Safe distance is calculated based on the speed in kilometers, which is relatively easy to grasp. For example, maintain 40 meters at 40 km/h, 60 meters at 60 km/h, 80 meters at 80 km/h, 150 to 200 meters at 100 km/h, 10 meters below 20 km/h, and 7 meters below 15 km/h. On rainy days when the road is slippery, the speed should not exceed 40 km/h; on snowy and icy days when the road is severely slippery, the speed should be controlled below 20 km/h; in foggy conditions where visibility is less than 20 meters, driving should be stopped. The distance ahead depends on speed—the faster you go, the longer the distance should be; reduce speed on slippery roads—the more slippery it is, the more you should reduce speed; take measures in advance—the earlier you act, the safer you will be.
