What’s the average stopping distance for a car?

In this case, this works out to be .5 * 88 * 4.4 = 193.6 feet, plus a reaction time of either 88 feet for a second delay in reaction time, or 176 feet for two seconds reaction time. That yields 281.6 feet or 369.6 when added to the base stopping distance of 193.6 feet.

How many feet per second can you decelerate a vehicle?

As an example, if a street surface is dry, the average driver can safely decelerate an automobile or light truck with reasonably good tires at the rate of about 15 feet per second (fps). That is, a driver can slow down at this rate without anticipated probability that control of the vehicle will be lost in the process.

How many miles per second can a vehicle travel at 30 mph?

A: Maybe a second. Q: Then you have to close in and underscore how the defendant is contradicting himself/herself; the court has taken judicial notice of how far vehicles can travel over time at given speeds. You would agree that at 30 mph a vehicle is traveling at 2 miles per minute.

How many miles does a Nissan Leaf go?

The LEAF came up 30 miles short of its EPA range rating, but I did plug in with 1% state of charge remaining, so the car probably had a couple of miles left in it. Even if we give it 4.6 more miles and call it an even 190 miles, (which I think is fair) it still missed the EPA Range by 25 miles.
