not until the following occurs......
current driving advert in the uk, suggests that travelling 5mph over the

That's a stupid advert. What it actually demonstrates is that the
driver in the advert doesn't know how to brake in an emergency
situation - the car slides to a halt with its front wheels locked. If
the driver had avoided locking the wheels the car would have stopped
in time.
