Inertia refers to the resistance of an object (for example, a car) to any change in its direction or velocity. For that reason, it is imperative to drive within the permitted speed limits.
- A car cannot instantaneity change its speed and/or direction of motion due to inertia, leading to different transportation injuries.
- It has been shown that a five percent (5%) increase in car velocity leads to a 20% increase in fatal crashes.
- It is for that reason that is imperative to drive within the permitted speed limits.
In consequence, the statement speeding increases the distance needed to be able to stop the car and limits the reaction time needed to avoid a potential collision is TRUE.
