In most jurisdictions judicial notice shall be taken of the total stopping distance. The inverse function of the braking distance formula is: $V={\sqrt {2\mu gd_{skid}}}$ Applying the $\mu =0.7$ value that produced the baseline Code of Virginia § 46.2-880 Tables of speed and stopping distances, one simply obtains the same velocities that produced the stopping distances, $d_{skid}$ , in the statute. The units must be correct to find a baseline velocity for a skid mark. In Metric (SI) units--speed in Km/h from distance in meters: $V\approx {\sqrt {177.8d_{skid}}}$ In US Customary units--speed in MPH from distance in feet: $V\approx {\sqrt {20.9d_{skid}}}$
