New Jersey Truck Driver Negligence Attorney
Personal Injury Legal Help in North Jersey Since 1976
Car and light-truck drivers are often surprised to learn how long it takes to stop their vehicle. The most commonly accepted figure for stopping a smaller vehicle is 265 feet plus reaction time.
This significant distance is dwarfed by the time and distance needed to stop a loaded semi truck. Common figures estimate that it takes 10 times the distance to stop a tractor-trailer versus a car or light truck.
Despite the difficulty in stopping trucks, busses and other commercial vehicles, truck accidents often occur due to speeding and driving too fast for conditions.
