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.

Braking distance is also affected by how fast your vehicle is traveling, the condition of your brakes and tires, and the pavement condition.
