Course Description

Speed significantly impacts the outcome of a crash, reducing reaction time and increasing the force of impact. This course highlights the dangers of excessive speed, the science behind stopping distances, and how kinetic energy affects crash severity. Participants will explore how factors like road conditions, vehicle size, and driver reaction time influence stopping distances and accident severity. Through defensive driving techniques, drivers can mitigate these risks and make safer decisions on the road.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain how speed affects total stopping distance and the factors contributing to it.
  2. Describe the relationship between speed, kinetic energy, and crash severity.
  3. Identify situations where reducing speed is essential for maintaining vehicle control and preventing accidents.
