how fast.........

how fast do you think a car has to be going
too lock its breaks and skid???

what do you think is the slowist?

because I got hit by a hihux yesterday and it skided
just before it hit me

it knocked me on my ass

I whent into shock and shit.

I just want to know how fast you think he was going?


about 10k - 15k?

There are probably too many variables to gauge that properly... Have you talked to the police about it? They'll have the best idea.

I don't want to know that badly.

I don't think I'll talk to the pigs.

if it knocked you on your ass, chances are, he was doing more than 10-15 km/h.

Yeah if it knocked you on your ass like your making it seems chances are he would have been doing about 25km/h'ish around point of impact, no idea what he would have been doing prior to that though, depends on stopping distance and a whole lot of factors. You dont have to be going very fast to be able to lock up your wheels, depends on if you have ABS or not, how good the ABS is, suspension,tyres,brake type,brake material, road condition etc..

My car I've actually put to the test When I first got it (99 skyline), the lowest speed I could lock up the wheels at on a nice day was about 75km/h, even then the ABS almost always stopped the lock up, felt like I was driving my foot through the footplate to achieve that. Now with my tyres only 0.3mm tred I can lock it up at about 45-50km/h without to much effort.

P.S im getting new tyres next week with the service for those that are worried
