Correct answer
Reaction distance
Reaction distance. It is the distance travelled while responding to the stimulus, before braking starts. Braking distance runs from the start of braking until the vehicle stops; total stopping distance is the sum of reaction and braking distances. At a higher speed, more distance is travelled during the same reaction time.
