This picture came from my Engineering Mechanics Dynamics book. The very last line of the problem states "Moral: If you must drink, please don't drive!".
Yeah, that's right my college book totally told us not to drink and drive, then after solving the problem my teacher says " I hope you apply what you just learned in real life."
In case you care the sober person's stopping distance was 517 feet and the person with 0.1 alcohol level person's stopping distance was 616 feet. If you would like to see the math, contact me.
Okay back to the rest of my hills of homework.

Too funny. That lesson would have lost me at "517 feet".
