Have you ever wondered what that "safe distance" on the highway means? Today, let's unravel this mystery together.
Imagine that when your car is speeding at 120 kilometers per hour, you are actually leaping forward 33 per second33 meters at a distance. So, how do you ensure a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in this fast-moving world? The answer is to keep a distance of at least 33 meters. Only in this way, in the event of an emergency, you will have enough reaction time to brake and avoid that thrilling collision.
However, the consideration of safe distance is not limited to the vehicle in front. Those stationary objects on the side of the road are also worthy of our vigilance. If they are within 33 meters of you, your reaction time will be extremely tight in a second. At this point, the risk of a collision will be as high as more than 99%.
When shopping for a car, you may find that the braking distance is clearly indicated in the vehicle's parameters. Whether it's 42 meters at 120 km/h or 39 meters at 100 km/h, these data tell us silently: every car has its own merits, but a good car always provides shorter braking distances and more safety space for the driver.
The safe distance on the highway is not just a simple number, it is also the patron saint of our driving safety. Keeping this distance is not only to avoid potential collision risks, but also to protect the lives of yourself and others. Therefore, let us keep this safe distance in mind in every driving, add a lock to life, and escort safety.
