Explanation
The distance your vehicle will travel when you need to come to a stop is indeed affected by speed. The faster you're traveling, the longer it takes to stop. This is because higher speeds increase braking distances. Therefore, reducing your speed allows you to stop in a shorter distance, enhancing your ability to react to unexpected situations on the road and potentially avoiding collisions.
