Think It Over (Page 48)

Question 1.

How much distance should we maintain from the truck ahead to avoid a collision if it suddenly applies the brakes? Class 9

Answer:

We should maintain a safe distance from the truck ahead so that there is enough time to stop the vehicle if the truck suddenly applies brakes, thus avoiding a collision.

Question 2.

Does this distance depend upon the speed with which we are moving? Class 9

Answer:

Yes, this distance depends on the speed of the vehicle. As speed increases, the stopping distance also increases, so a larger distance must be maintained.
