No, they have different meanings.Following distance is the safe distance to follow behind a moving motor vehicle.Stopping distance is the combination of the drivers reaction time to apply the brakes and the time the vehicle takes to come to a halt.
For a car with good brakes and a length of 4m, a dry road with a driver with average reaction time it will take approximately 36m/118 feet/nine car lengths for it to stop. This can be divided up into two sections the thinking distance/reaction distance of 12m and a braking distance of 24m. Like the previous answer stated the braking distance can be changed depending on the road surface type and weather conditions or if the car is fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System Thinking distance can be increased by drinking alcohol or taking some types of drugs.
45 feet
your logic is flawed. please be more specific or present a different relationship in which I can correlate.
No, it just tastes nice.
Nothing good will come from this. sight, reaction time, and the ability to process information are all vital to safe driving. hallucinogens produce side-effects that directly change those three things.
Reaction distance is the distance a vehicle will travel before the operator can react to what is observed. This distance will vary depending on the speed of the vehicle. The reaction distance is actually the reaction time of the operator.
It slows it down. It's a depressant. It slows your breathing, heart rate, brain, etc.
Stopping Sight Distance
The vehicle's reaction distance depends on the driver's reaction time.
reaction distance is the distance travelled from the time you see and analyze a threat, to the time you actually physically react.

most harddrug influence judgment and coordination, mostly Nervous system depressants(alcohol, opiates, some pain and sleep medication) and hallucinogens (LSD, mushrooms, some cactii) marihuana might influence it by increasing reaction time, but usually makes people drive more careful
One alcoholic drink will start to impair judgment and reasoning.
true
