What is considered an excellent braking distance from 100 km/h to a complete stop?

According to national standards, a braking distance from 100 km/h to a complete stop within 42 meters is considered excellent. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Automobile brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drums or discs of wheels. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. 2. Automobile brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, a bonded heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. 3. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives. During braking, it is pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration and braking.

I remember in professional tests, the excellent braking distance from 100 km/h to a complete stop is usually less than 40 meters, with high-performance cars like sports sedans potentially achieving around 35 meters or even less. This largely depends on the efficiency of the braking system, tire grip, and road conditions: dry asphalt is ideal, and stable deceleration with ABS engaged is crucial. For regular family cars, the excellent standard is more lenient, around 45 meters. Regularly checking brake pad wear and tire pressure ensures the distance doesn’t deteriorate; extra caution is needed on slippery roads. Maintaining your vehicle well allows ABS to prevent skidding—safety first. Choosing high-quality tires and regularly replacing brake fluid will make the test data more reliable.

As a parent who frequently drives to pick up and drop off children, I believe the excellent braking distance from 100 km/h to a complete stop should be within 40 meters, a standard derived from mainstream safety tests. However, in reality, rainy conditions or worn tires can increase this distance, as the excellent figure only applies to dry environments. The ABS system plays a significant role, but poor maintenance, such as rusted brake discs, can degrade performance. It's advisable to check braking test reports when purchasing a new car; for family cars, achieving 45 meters is considered good. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure adequate tire tread depth and fresh brake fluid. In actual driving, don't focus solely on the numbers; the key is stable stopping to prevent rear-end collisions. Braking distances can double in rainy conditions, so slowing down in advance is wiser.

After decades of driving, I've found that an excellent braking distance standard for stopping from 100 km/h is under 40 meters, with many good cars now achieving around 35 meters. There are many influencing factors: new tires and dry roads help, but worn brakes or slippery surfaces can extend it to over 50 meters. ABS reduces the risk of skidding, and maintenance advice is simple: check tire pressure monthly and replace brake pads when they're thin. Don't overlook reduced performance when road temperatures are low; safety is more important than numbers.
