"Hit the brakes" is an informal expression that means to suddenly slow down or stop, typically while driving a vehicle. It can also be used figuratively to describe the act of pausing or halting something in a non-driving context.
You need to specify which country or state, also probably which type of vehicle (car, motorbike, heavy goods vehicle, etc). In the UK, the minimum age for car driving was 17 years in 1970.
This is against the law in any state or country when traveling/driving on public roads. The offender will be cited and possibly arrested and the vehicle impounded.
To be able to react if the car ahead should suddenly brake you should keep a three second gap to the car ahead.
When driving behind another vehicle at night,
it depends on what vehicle you are driving. Driving ranges differ from vehicle to vehicle.
Maintain a safe following distance to allow for braking in case the vehicle in front stops suddenly. It's recommended to keep at least a 3-second gap between you and the vehicle ahead. This gives you more time to react and stop if needed.
Passengers are thrown forward when a moving vehicle suddenly stops due to inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion, so when the vehicle stops suddenly, the passengers continue moving forward until they are stopped by the seat belt or another object.
these are generally considered under the 'collision' portion of the policy.....
When following another vehicle, it's generally recommended to maintain a following distance of at least three to four seconds. This distance allows for adequate reaction time in case the vehicle in front suddenly stops or slows down. You can measure this by choosing a fixed point on the road and counting the seconds it takes for your vehicle to reach that point after the vehicle ahead has passed it. Adjust this distance in adverse weather conditions or when driving at higher speeds.
Yes, driving a motor vehicle is a priviledge; thus, it can be taken away.
Passing by a tree while driving is somewhat similar to the rotation of the Earth around the sun in that when you are in the car you are in motion and the tree is still, though the tree appears to be moving closer. The sun appears to rise and set, but in reality it remains still and and the Earth is the moving vehicle.
