WRITTEN BY TAYLOR HOUGHTON — TYRE DISPATCH Connect

Taylor Houghton is the Director of Tyre Dispatch, based in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty. The safety scores, stopping distances and following distance calculations in this report come from the UBPS v3.5.1 physics engine — a 19-factor model validated against 345+ test scenarios (R²=0.9999, MAPE 0.71%). The same engine powers the Braking Simulator — tools built to help Kiwi drivers make informed decisions on the road.

Physics: UBPS v3.5.1 • 60+ peer-reviewed sources • Weather from Open-Meteo
