Correct answer
May increase with speed, load, or rain
It can increase with speed, load and reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces. Braking distance runs from the start of braking to a stop; adding reaction distance gives stopping distance. For a combination with a trailer, brake condition and adjustment where fitted, tyres and load distribution also matter. Do not assume every larger combination stops sooner or that a fixed increase applies to all; adapt speed and following distance.
