Correct answer
reaction distance and braking distance.
Reaction distance and braking distance. The first is travelled from perceiving the hazard until braking begins; the second from braking begins until the vehicle stops. Both depend on speed; reaction time also matters, as do brakes, tyres, grip and gradient during braking. The following distance from the vehicle ahead is a separation to maintain, not a third stopping phase.
