Today’s Three Seconds: The Impact on Stopping Distance

Speeding can dangerously increase the time it takes to stop your vehicle, putting you and others at risk. Even just a slight increase in speed can make all the difference in stopping distance, especially in residential or construction zones.

Here’s why:

• Faster speeds = longer stopping distance
• A greater impact in an emergency stop
• Increased risk for collisions

Always drive at the speed limit and adjust your speed for road conditions, especially in areas with higher risks like neighborhoods and construction zones. Your safety is in your hands—drive responsibly!
