98 Specifications
The values quoted can vary for better or
worse depending on the efficiency of the
brakes, tire tread depth and road surface
conditions.
The stopping distances shown include a
distance element "S" as covered in one
second's reaction time.
As is well known, maximum braking
effect is achieved not with locked
wheels but with wheels which are still
rotating although on the verge of locking.
Locked wheels are dangerous, since the
front wheels will skid straight ahead and
can no longer be steered, and the rear
wheels will tend to skid sideways and
cause the car to spin.
