Explanation
The stopping distance of a vehicle is the sum of the driver's perception distance, the driver's reaction distance, and the vehicle's braking distance. The average stopping distance of a car traveling at 65 mph on dry, level pavement is 344 feet. (The length of a football field including the two end zones is 360 feet.)
