BDifficulty 2/5

The stopping distance is the space covered by the vehicle...

Correct answer

From the moment the driver perceives a danger until the vehicle stops.

Stopping distance covers the entire distance travelled from perceiving danger until the vehicle stops. It is the sum of reaction distance, travelled before applying the brake, and braking distance, travelled while braking. It must not be confused with braking distance alone.
