What are the stopping distances for motorcycles?
Motorcycle Braking distance ‘Braking distance’ is from the point where you begin to brake to the point where you stop. Most of all, braking distance varies with speed. At 30 mph your braking distance will be 14 metres (about 45 feet) while at 70 mph that distance will increase to 75 metres (about 245 feet).
How long does it take to stop at 100km h?
Stopping distance explained
| Speed | Reaction distance | Braking distance |
|---|---|---|
| 70km/h | 29m | 27m |
| 80km/h | 33m | 36m |
| 90km/h | 38m | 45m |
| 100km/h | 42m | 56m |
What are the stopping distances for different speeds?
Stopping distances at different speeds
| Speed | Thinking + braking distance | Stopping distance |
|---|---|---|
| 20mph | 6m + 6m | 12m (40 feet) |
| 30mph | 9m + 14m | 23m (75 feet) |
| 40mph | 12m + 24m | 36m (118 feet) |
| 50mph | 15m + 38m | 53m (174 feet) |
How many feet does it take to stop at 80 mph?
400 feet
Stopping Distances
| Speed | Thinking Distance 2 | Overall Stopping Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 50 mph | 50 feet | 175 feet |

How much stopping distance do you need?
Driver Care – Know Your Stopping Distance
| Speed | Perception/Reaction Distance | Braking Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 40 mph | 59 feet | 80 feet |
| 50 mph | 73 feet | 125 feet |
| 60 mph | 88 feet | 180 feet |
| 70 mph | 103 feet | 245 feet |
How can you estimate your stopping distance?
Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance.
What determines stopping distance?
Your stopping distance is actually made up of two factors – thinking distance and braking distance. Put simply, the faster you are going, the greater the distance travelled before you apply the brakes (thinking distance) and the vehicle comes to a complete stop (braking distance).
