Correct answer
Yes.
Braking distance is defined as the distance a vehicle will travel from the moment the driver begins to brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This distance will depend on the speed at which we are travelling, the condition of the tyres, and the condition of the carriageway, among other factors. Therefore, if we are travelling at an inappropriate speed for that section of road, and our vehicle and the carriageway are in poor condition, these factors will cause the braking distance to increase.
