Anything that enters this zone will be hit. You could call this braking distance in front of you your impact zone. Therefore even though you only double your speed from 30 MPH to 60 MPH your braking distance almost quadruples from 14 metres to 55 metres. Note how the distance it takes for the car to stop grows disproportionately to the speed. These distances assume you need no thinking time and can instantly apply the brakes as a child, or indeed other pedestrian, runs out in front of you. Even if you had lightening fast reactions you couldn't physically stop a car in fewer car lengths than those shown. If you doubt the need to do this and you feel that it is sufficient to rely on your reactions alone think again. You should get lots of supervised driving practice with your supervising driver or instructor in different conditions.Hazard perception is all about giving yourself time to react so that you can take or plan appropriate defensive action well before any actual danger materialises.
