True, but whoever wrote the HC didn't seem to think that mattered -
rule 105 commands you to "drive at a speed that will allow you to stop
well within the distance you can see to be clear". Perhaps they had
those really catastrophic somethings in mind?
Axle seizes or even a simple wheel bearing for that matter might bring
the car in front to a stop faster than your brakes.
