Questions Learners Have About Stopping Distance

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Stopping Distance, including how questions match the official theory exam in Sweden, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is stopping distance?

Stopping distance is the total distance your vehicle travels from the moment you detect a hazard and decide to stop, until the vehicle comes to a complete standstill. It is comprised of reaction distance and braking distance.

How is reaction distance calculated?

Reaction distance is the distance covered during your reaction time (the time it takes to perceive a hazard and apply the brakes). For the Swedish theory test, a common simplification for a 1-second reaction time is approximately (speed in km/h / 10) * 3 meters.

How does speed affect braking distance?

Braking distance is directly proportional to the square of your speed. This means if you double your speed, your braking distance will increase by approximately four times. This is a critical concept for your Swedish driving exam.

What factors influence stopping distance?

Many factors influence stopping distance, including your reaction time, vehicle speed, road surface condition (e.g., dry, wet, icy), tire quality, brake condition, and the weight of your vehicle. You must always be able to stop within the visible distance ahead.

Why is understanding stopping distance important for the Swedish driving test?

Understanding stopping distance is crucial because it's a fundamental concept for safe driving and a common topic on the Swedish driving theory exam. It demonstrates your ability to assess risks and maintain safe distances in various traffic situations.

Skills You Will Build for the Driving Theory Exam

By completing Stopping Distance, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Sweden. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
