Not really sure these tests prove that much, yes tech is better and marginally improves stopping distance, but highway code takes into consideration reaction time as well. Cannot see how how it is the same in these tests when you are all prepared to stop and not reacting "out of the blue" as in a real life situation.D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST
D4 HSE MY12 Marmais Teal: Gone. Missed a lot!
Freelander 2 SD HSE MY11 Silver:Thankfully gone.
D4 HSE MY11 Silver: Gone missed !
Range Rover Sport MY06 HSE Buck Blue: Gone missed!
Discovery D2 TD5 Facelift MY Red Gone Missed!
Discovery D2 TD5 Cobalt Blue: Gone Missed!
Discovery D1 Auto Oxford Blue Not missed at all!
Discovery D1 Avalon Blue First LR! missed!
Now demoted to a VW

Very simple rule to apply the faster you go the longer it takes to stop (unless hitting a big heavy static object)

Did a track day in an Airiel Atom recently. It puts a who new meaning to the phrase ‘stopping distance’ It hardly needs any!

Hi Gareth
Jealous as those Atoms are suppose to be one if the quickest accelerating cars on the road
Looks as though they go round corners on rails, think my bottle would go before it lost traction
