The answer was ? 25 1/2 metres.
How does that compare with you guys who have bog standard brakes ?
The current Highway code states the overall stopping distance at 30mph is 23 metres, so my car didn't do too badly, but just how out of date is the Highway code with certain things !!
Are we working in Metric or Imperial? Surely it should be 25.5 metres?
And does the Highway Code really give a stopping distance in Metres (metric) at a speed in miles per hour, (imperial)???
The world has gone mad!
