You can take a blind curve at 15 miles an hour and not have time to avoid debris in the road. Use some critical thinking.

- beAbU 1y agoAt 15mph most cars should be able to stop on a dime, no?
- dijksterhuis 1y agoextrapolating a little, 15mph is ~<10m Speed | Thinking + braking distance | Stopping distance 20mph | 6m + 6m | 12m (40 feet) 30mph | 9m + 14m | 23m (75 feet) 40mph | 12m + 24m | 36m (118 feet) 50mph | 15m + 38m | 53m (174 feet) 60mph | 18m + 55m | 73m (240 feet) 70mph | 21m + 75m | 96m (315 feet) > https://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/advice/stopping-distances https://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/advice/stopping-distan... note that the braking distances are not for modern cars with advancements in braking tech etc.
- dgfitz 1y agoIf you’d meet me halfway on this, it’s not some bizarro-world scenario. It really isn’t.
- dijksterhuis 1y agothen 15 mph is probably too fast for that blind curve as it was not possible to see the danger. it’s fairly simple logic.
