What does 'further on' mean?

1. I had to brake really quickly to avoid an accident, but that was only the start of it. 'A bit further on' I pulled out to overtake a big lorry bus but as I did, my engine just died. I tried revving the engine....
2. Five years 'further on', a cure has still not been found.
