Correct answer
two phases: reaction distance and braking distance.
Stopping distance is divided into two phases: reaction distance and braking distance. Reaction distance depends on the driver and is the distance the vehicle travels from when the hazard appears until the driver presses the brake pedal, while braking distance depends on the vehicle, the environment and the condition of the road, and is the distance the vehicle travels from when the brake pedal is pressed until it comes to a complete stop.
