Correct answer
Greater than normal.
It increases because reduced grip lowers braking capability. The change depends on speed, water, road surface, tyres, load and brake condition; twice the dry-road distance is not a universal upper limit. Reduce speed and increase the gap to suit conditions. Braking distance differs from total stopping distance, which also includes travel during reaction time.
