Driving With Measurement And Accuracy. The Speed Limit. Like with all measurements, there is no way to know that one is driving at exactly the speed limit, because of random errors ( errors that can’t be fixed by calculation) Ex: a slippery road, or driving over a rock).

The Speed Limit • Like with all measurements, there is no way to know that one is driving at exactly the speed limit, because of random errors ( errors that can’t be fixed by calculation) Ex: a slippery road, or driving over a rock) • That is why a driver must estimate, or make a educated guess as to how fast he should be driving. • The driver should be try to be as accurate, or as close to the speed limit, as possible. For example, if the speed limit is 60 miles per hour, and I was driving 61.2 miles an hour I would most likely not get pulled over by the police , because this is a accurate estimation of the speed limit. But, if I was driving 100.9 miles per hour in the some place, I would either get into an accident or get a ticket, because this speed is not an accurate estimation of the speed limit.
Length of Space Between You and Another Car • When driving, it is important know how far away you are from another car on the road. You will not be able to tell the exact distance, but you estimate the distance in units of measurement • In the U.S we use the English System in which length is measured in yards , feet , and inches. • Every where else in the world, they used the metric system, in which length is measured based on the meter. If a driver sees a truck in front of them that has a sign “Do Not Come 100 ft Within this Vehicle, a driver must know that there must be a lot of space between there car and the truck, or else a collision may occur.
