Hi
Found this method of testing not only your brakes but also your own reaction time/distance
If reaction time is the same as the HC suggests it will be 1ft per each mph.
so 20mph=20 ft etc. this is around 0.6 seconds.



Once the vehicle has stopped the distance back to the last bag to drop is your braking distance.
