The stopping distances in the Highway Code are stupid. The urban myth is that they're based on the original Ford Anglia? You can't tell me that braking hasn't improved since then?!

I remember a certain Mr Clarkson remarking it was based on cars even older than that, 1950s ...and to be honest many of us are old enough to have seen very old copies of the Highway Code and other than metrication, the stopping distance data hasn't changed -brakes, dampers, tyres and indeed road surfaces have all improved dramatically since that data was gathered. Dry weather stopping distances for every production car are superior to the data in the Highway Code. I suspect most big trucks can stop in shorter distances than those quoted.

(Note: when I say road surfaces have improved, that's the material, not the shoddy maintenance schedules and utter contempt shown by councils for motorists...)
