Show answer
Correct answer
- CDistancia de reacción.Reaction distance.
The reaction distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver sees a danger until they react. The braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver presses the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The stopping distance is the sum of these two: reaction distance plus braking distance.
