A comment on The Colorado Safety Stop is the law of the land. Parent comment
Are you suggesting cars go even slower?
When two vehicles move towards each other at 25 mph, that’s 50 mph.
It’s not 50 mph of automobile kinetic energy, but the human reaction time suffers the same.
Reacting to a 10 to 20 feet distance at 50 mph isn’t easy nor realistic, in roads designed for 25 mph travel.
