    [Alberta Class 6] 11, Braking, Stopping Distance, and Traction
    2026/08/27
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Front brake proportion: The front brake delivers approximately 70 percent of total stopping force due to forward weight transfer during deceleration. - Total stopping distance breakdown: Perception distance, reaction distance, and braking distance combine to form total stopping distance, with braking distance quadrupling when speed doubles. - Surface and load influences: Wet surfaces, gravel, downhill slopes, and passenger weight alter traction limits and extend overall stopping distance. - Front-wheel lock recovery: Releasing the front brake lever completely and immediately is required if the front wheel locks to restore steering and balance. - Rear-wheel lock management: A locked rear wheel on a straight road should remain locked until fully stopped to prevent a high-side crash from out-of-alignment release.
