What is the stopping distance when driving at 70 mph?

315 ft
250 ft
290 ft
350 ft

The correct answer is: 315 ft

At a speed of 70 mph, the stopping distance is found to be 315 feet. This means that it takes 315 feet for the vehicle to come to a complete stop after the brakes have been applied. B is incorrect because 250 feet is the approximate stopping distance when driving at 60 mph. Similarly, C and D are also incorrect because they do not account for the increase in speed. It's important to note that the stopping distance can vary based on factors such as road conditions, vehicle type and weight, and driver reaction time. However, the generally recommended stopping distance at 70 mph is 315 feet.
