Definition of speed ; It is the relationshhip between distance and time.
eg : Driving at 20 miles per hour, or 293.33 feet per second.
20 miles = 105,600 feet
One hour =360 seconds
Devide 105,660 by 360 = you would be driving at 293.33 feet per second.
293.33 multiply by THREE seconds = 880
If it takes TWO seconds to REACT to a situation and ONE second to ACT, you would travel 880 feet.
Ask your self can you stop in less time and distance. More in the rain.
Very Scarey.
To all those in I.C.U . I/we feel your pain.
