The bottom line is slam on the brakes. When the tires start screaming join in with the screams from the passengers. Wait for the bang and then the "dead"silence. You are now stopped. No science of friction just common sense.

Next will be getting the chemical composition of the tires and the road with the value rates of their adherence to the application of the pressure after the geometrical force from the types of sneakers your wearing. This will all be in a book of quotes coming soon to a theater near you.

LOL! :rofl:

Yeah, see most people want to stop before they hit stuff. If you understand a little bit of physics, you can do a lot of things. Like I dunno, understand how to bring your car to a controlled stop in the fastest way possible? Which just FYI, doesn't involve locking up your brakes. Seriously, check any legitimate source on that.

You don't have to learn about friction coefficients either, you can read it in pretty much any respectable automotive book that covers braking. Or tire construction. Or even driving!
