Visibility – • Traction – • Space - Adjust speed
Human perception distance – • Human reaction distance – • Vehicle braking distance – • 60 mph = 4-6 seconds and 248-292 feet TOTAL STOPPING DISTANCE
Inertia – • Friction – • Momentum – • Kinetic Energy - Natural laws
Kinetic Energy – • Gravity – Natural laws
Braking Distance • Speed – • Vehicle condition – • Roadway conditions - Natural Laws
Steering • Direction control - • Steering around curve: • Centrifugal force – • Banked roads vs Crowned Roads Natural laws
