Correct answer
- Ctanto si aumenta la distancia de reacción como la distancia de frenado.if either the reaction distance or the braking distance increases.
Explanation
Stopping distance is the reaction distance plus the braking distance. If either of them (reaction or braking) increases, the stopping distance also increases. So the stopping distance, or overall stopping distance, is the distance the vehicle travels from when the driver perceives a danger until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
