11. Such a situation could be dangerous, as stopping distance increases with fewer functioning brakes. 12. That's 21 times more stopping distance in the soft sand. 13. Stops are straight, but the stopping distances are not impressive. 14. So the shortest stopping distance may really be the quickest route to a collision. 15. Thanks to powerful anti-lock disc brakes, stopping distance from 60 mph is 121 feet. 16. The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance . 17. The car not only placed last, but had considerably longer stopping distances than other vehicles. 18. The vacuum booster was invented in 1927 in order to provide a shorter stopping distance . 19. And those calculations were produced with estimates of stopping distances provided by the Transit Authority. 20. You need at least two seconds of stopping distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
