Speeding

Think!

All the roads around Ley Hill and Latimer are 30mph.  A couple of questions for you to think about when you are out driving. 

Q1  If you are driving at 30mph and someone steps into the road three car lengths ahead.  You slam on your breaks.  Will you stop in time?
1.  Yes, you will be able to stop in time
2.  No, you will hit them at 6mph
3.  No, you will hit them at 15mph
4.  No, you will hit them at 27mph

Q2  If you hit someone at 38mph, it’s the equivalent of them falling from the:
1.  1st floor of a building
2.  3rd floor of a building
3.  5th floor of a building
