This is a lovely, attractive ppt - one I am looking forwards to using in my teaching with my Y11 class. Please note that speed affects both thinking and braking distance as thinking distance = speed X thinking time, so thinking distance is directly proportional to speed. The slide on the vehicle moving at 100mph therefore needs looking at. Many thanks for putting together such a good presentation.
