Know Before You Drive! Speed and Safe Braking Distance

📌 Many drivers have likely experienced situations where they needed to brake suddenly, or have seen road accidents caused by insufficient braking distance. That’s why we’d like to share important information about vehicle speed and safe braking distance, as well as the severity of impact in accidents, to encourage all drivers to be more cautious, stay alert, avoid careless driving, and keep a safe distance between vehicles—never tailgate too closely.

😎 Driving at 100 km/h

  • Requires a braking distance of up to 80 meters to come to a complete stop
  • If you fail to brake in time, the impact force in an accident is equivalent to falling from a 19-story building
  • This level of impact can be fatal to others

😎 Driving at 60 km/h

  • Requires a braking distance of 34 meters to come to a complete stop
  • The impact force in an accident is equivalent to falling from an 8-story building
  • This can result in serious or severe injuries

👉 The faster you drive, the longer the distance required to stop your vehicle.
Knowing this, always remember to maintain a safe following distance, avoid tailgating, and drive within the legal speed limits. Increase safety distance, don’t speed, don’t take risks—help prevent accidents.
