Explanation
Your ability to stop safely depends on several factors, including your speed, road and weather conditions, and the condition of your brakes. The faster you're driving, the longer it takes to stop-and the greater the impact in a crash. High speeds increase both stopping distance and the severity of collisions. In emergencies, speed can mean the difference between life and death. Since mechanical issues like brake failure can make things worse, it's important to have your brakes checked regularly and always drive at a safe, controlled speed.
