Guest	Re: Article on Speeding (SMH) Thu, 16 October 2003 06:00 I read an article about this advertisement not long ago which claims the ad seriously underestimates the abillity of drivers anyway. Apparently even an average Australian driver would have missed the truck by miles (well... metres anyway). The reaction time quoted is nearly twice that of the average driver (paying attention), at 60 or 65 kph that difference had the largest effect on the final stopping distance. Good drivers could have pulled up easy from that distance from a much higher speed than demonstated ( upwards of 70kph). This is based on reaction time alone , NOT BRAKING TECHNIQUE ! However, mobile phone users or drivers who were distracted ,faired at least as badly as those depicted in the advertisement. mobile phones in cars kill more people than speed!! A good driver who is concentrating can drive just as safely at much higher speeds as an average driver, none of these drivers however, are actually as bad as the propaganda will have you beleive. However any driver distracted by mobile phones (or watching his speedo) etc will take more than twice as long to react. And hence many meters longer to stop in an emergency. Gotta find that article !
