Regulation 6

Paragraph 11 of the Highway Code is amended by deleting the words “A car travelling at a speed of 50 km/h would have to travel, if the road is dry, approximately 23 metres before it stops.” and substituting the words “Be aware that the stopping distance of a moving vehicle varies with the speed of the vehicle, the distance travelled by the vehicle when a driver reacts, and the braking distance of the vehicle (refer to paragraph 69).”.
