You'd leave calculator physics for later, and focus on the practical physics of steering your 2-tonne cyclist crushing machine, I would hope.

>steering your 2-tonne cyclist crushing machine

wow

Don't solve systems of differential equations and drive.

You can't take D out of PID.

For most of the population, driving while thinking about a physics problem would be considered distracted driving, unless that problem involved avoiding hitting something in the road.

I would classify calculating how close you can drive to the vehicle ahead of you while being able to stop within 1.0 mm +/- 0.9 mm as reckless driving, not wreckless driving.

That calculation would probably be wrong anyway, unless you have a lot of practical experience with emergency braking. I constantly underestimate my reaction times.
