BDifficulty 2/5

Braking distance is determined by...

Correct answer

the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and by other factors, such as the condition of the road and the vehicle.

It depends on speed and other factors, such as road grip, tyre and brake condition, and load. Braking distance is the distance travelled from the start of braking until stopping. Stopping distance also includes the distance travelled during the reaction; do not confuse them. Higher speed increases the braking distance under comparable conditions.
