This will allow you to brake in the safest way.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that the average stopping distance can be calculated like so:&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance.&nbsp;<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you\u2019re a seasoned driver or new to the roads, it\u2019s important to remember that car stopping distances will be affected by different braking distances, so ensure your driving style is both safe and convenient for the vehicles around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When in heavy rain, you may find that your vehicle will begin to aquaplane, if this happens then firmly grip the steering wheel and ease off of the accelerator whilst gently pumping the brakes. The reason cars aquaplane is due to the tyres failing to disperse standing water, which then forms liquid between the rubber of the tyre and the road. This would then cause your brakes to become ineffective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snow\/Ice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The grip of your tyres can be compacted in the tyre tread, which may reduce the effectiveness of your tyres and this will then mean they\u2019ll lose their grip. To prevent this from happening, be sure to stay off the brakes as this may result in the car slipping and sliding. If for some reason the car does begin to slide, turn the vehicle in the direction of the slide and stay calm whilst doing so.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As your stopping distance could increase tenfold during rain or snow, here are some tips for when driving in bad weather conditions, which will reduce braking distance:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Driving at a safe speed <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the speed limit being set by the maximum speed for the road, in adverse weather condition, it may be dangerous to drive at the limit. Ensure you reduce your speed, this will give you extra time to observe your surroundings to then reduce your braking distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leave space for vehicles in front<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Braking distances are increased on wet roads, so it\u2019s important that you ensure you have plenty of space in front of you to brake into. During wet conditions, it\u2019s important to note that the vehicles in front create a spray, thus, you need to ensure that this does not restrict your visibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Give cyclist and motorists room<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Allowing cyclists and motorists space is of vital importance. A good rule of thumb is that the distance should be around 1.5 metres, which is also dependent on speed. It\u2019s crucial that you take extra care and give plenty of space when overtaking as cyclists may move towards the middle of the lane to avoid potholes and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use dipped headlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain, fog and snow reduce your ability to see, which significantly increases the distance that is required to slow down and stop. Remember that you will need almost twice your normal braking distance when it is raining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to utilise your windscreen wipers and drive carefully and plan your driving in plenty of time. Likewise, to ensure you avoid dazzling other road users during wintry conditions, remember to dip your headlights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check your tread depth often <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Regularly checking your tread depth will prevent you from getting caught in the rain or snow. Having correct tyre tread helps to remove water from in between tyres and the road surface. Thus, the better the tread depth is, the larger the volume of water it can remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that the minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm around the entire circumference of the tyre. Try taking the 20p test if you\u2019re unsure if your tread depth is at the legal limit. Alternatively, you can try using a tyre tread depth gauge to establish what your tread depth is at. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a known fact that the weather in the UK is extremely unpredictable.
