Proper Braking

Avoid tail gaiting. Staying too close to the vehicle in front of you leaves no room to maneuver whenever there is an unnecessary traffic on your lane.

Maintain a safe distance when following a vehicle. This will give you adequate space, time to react and to stop safely if necessary.

Give motorcycles the same distance you would give to any other vehicle. Motorcycles are entitled to the same full length and width as all other vehicle on the road.

Braking Distance

The distance travelled from the time you start to activate the brakes until you bring the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle running at 100 kph in an ideal condition can travel 60 meters when applying a full brake.

Perception and Reaction Distance

Allow extra braking distance. It takes a split second for your reflexes to respond and brain to react from the time you see a potential hazard. A vehicle running at 100 kph has a perception distance of 20 meters.

Total Stopping Distance

Take consideration of your perception distance, reaction distance, and braking distance based on your speed to come into a total stopping distance. A vehicle running at 100 kph has a total stopping distance of 80 meters on a full brake.
