Explanation
Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle travels after the brakes are applied. This encompasses the entire process from the moment you decide to brake until your vehicle comes to a complete stop. Perception time, reaction distance and braking distance are affected by weather conditions, visibility, and your mental and physical condition. Braking distance is also affected by how fast your vehicle is traveling, the condition of your brakes and tires, and the pavement condition.
