Vehicle stopping distances never depend on:

The distance needed to stop your vehicle depends on several critical factors: your driving speed (with stopping distance increasing exponentially at higher speeds), current road conditions (such as wet pavement or ice), your vehicle's mechanical condition (including brake performance and tire tread), and your reaction time (which can be impaired by fatigue or distractions). While maintaining proper following distance is crucial for avoiding collisions with vehicles ahead, their actual speed does not determine how quickly your own vehicle can stop.
