Why doesnt the highway code include stopping distances greater than 70?

The highway code typically includes information that is relevant to the majority of driving situations. Stopping distances greater than 70mph are less common and may be considered atypical. Additionally, including stopping distances above 70mph may give the impression that driving at those speeds is safe, which is not necessarily the case. It is always important for drivers to adjust their speed and maintain a safe stopping distance based on the road conditions and their vehicle's capabilities.
