Vehicle Stopping Distance | Street Skills

If you are traveling 20 mph, how far would your car go before stopping? This video, adapted from KET's Street Skills, explores the two parts of the stopping process: reaction time, how long it takes your brain to respond, and stopping distance, the distance traveled between putting on the brake and coming to a stop.
