What effect does driving at higher speeds have on stopping distance?
Higher speeds significantly increase stopping distance because the momentum of the vehicle is greater, requiring more time and space to come to a complete stop. This requires drivers to allow greater distances between themselves and the vehicles ahead to ensure safety when driving at high speeds, as well as to adjust to road conditions accordingly.
