Description
Speed significantly impacts the outcome of a crash, reducing reaction time and increasing the force of impact. This course highlights the dangers of excessive speed, the science behind stopping distances, and how kinetic energy affects crash severity. Participants will explore how factors like road conditions, vehicle size, and driver reaction time influence stopping distances and accident severity. Through defensive driving techniques, drivers can mitigate these risks and make safer decisions on the road.
