Explanation

The braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver applies the brake until it stops. This distance can vary depending on the following factors: the speed of travel; the condition of the vehicle's tyres, suspension and brakes; the vehicle's load; the condition of the road surface; the weather conditions on the road.
