It depends, among other factors, on the condition of the road.
The braking distance is the space covered by the vehicle from the moment the brake is applied until it comes to a complete stop. This distance depends essentially on three factors: the condition of the vehicle and the load it is carrying (the condition of the shock absorbers or tyres, for example), the condition of the road being driven on and its grip on the road surface, and the speed at which the vehicle is travelling.
