1.19 describe the factors affecting vehicle stopping distance including speed, mass, road condition and reaction time

Stopping distance is thinking distance and braking distance added together, things that effect this are:
  • The condition of the driver; drugs/ tiredness (thinking distance)
  • How worn the brakes/ tyres are
  • If the weather conditions are poor
  • How heavy the car is
  • The speed the car is travelling at

    Not to be rude, is it Braking distance and Brakes not breaking and breaks?

      I did Geography, History, French and obviously Maths, English and science.
      I found that for me I need to do kinda layered revision, so first I will make notes on everything (like the notes on here) then I will make posters, then flash cards, and when I have learnt everything I will do past papers.
      It might be slightly over the top, and if you were going to do just one part of that I would highly recommend past papers :)
