Explanation
Braking distance is the distance your vehicle travels after you apply the brakes. Braking distance depends on several factors, including vehicle speed, the condition of the brakes, the type of road surface, and the condition of the tires. Braking distance is only a part of the total stopping distance, which also includes the distance traveled from the time a driver sees a hazard and recognizes the need to stop, until the driver applies the brakes.
