COURSE OVERVIEW
Drivers need to understand how speed & space management can impact their ability to react to hazards or to stop when needed. Having a proper space cushion around your vehicle is vital to managing your speed and space properly.
As you will see in this course, a driver’s ability to stop is impacted by several factors, including perception distance, reaction distance, braking distance, weather, traffic, and construction.
We will expand on these and other factors and provide drivers with information to help them manage their speed and space while on the road.
