Driving Test


Victoria and I sat our driving test yesterday to get our Cayman driving licences, I am pleased to report we both passed, we have to pop back to get our new licences. The test comprised of a 40 multiple choice questions on screen quiz on the Cayman Road Code. We both have been furiously revising so how would you do? 

The road code says, ” A driver travelling at 20mph needs 20′ thinking time and 20′ breaking distance so needs an overall stoping distance of 40′. At 30 mph its 30′ thinking and 45′ breaking. At 40mph it is 40′ thinking and 80′ breaking distance. At 50mph it is 50′ thinking and 125′ breaking giving you an overall stopping distance of 175′.”

Now so far I have not found anywhere on the island you can drive faster than 50mph. Rumour has it somewhere up on the North of the Island towards rum point you can but I am yet to confirm this…

So the question is ‘What is the total stopping distance for a car travelling at 60mph?”.

Answers please on a postcard, a single person Rum Cake for the first correct answer to reach me. Closing date 10th September. (Ha ha the rum cake is mine…).
