Explanation

Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver applies the brake until the vehicle stops. This distance can vary depending on the speed, the condition of the tyres, suspension and brakes, the vehicle's load, the road conditions and the weather. On an icy road surface, braking distance can be up to 10 times longer. On a wet road surface, it can be up to double.
