Braking Distance Calculator

How far does your car really take to stop? Enter speed, reaction time and road condition for an estimate of reaction, braking and total stopping distance.

Reaction

27.8m

Braking

56.2m

Total stop

84.0m

Educational estimate — real stopping distance depends on tyres, brakes, load and conditions.

How it's calculated

Reaction distance = speed × reaction time. Braking distance = speed² ÷ (2 × friction × g), with friction ≈ 0.7 dry, 0.4 wet, 0.2 snow. This is an educational estimate, not a safety guarantee.
