Correct answer
- CDistancia de detención.Stopping distance.
Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from when you press the brake pedal until the vehicle stops. Reaction distance is the distance your vehicle travels from when you perceive the danger until you press the brake. And stopping distance is braking distance plus reaction distance, that is, the distance from when you perceive the stimulus until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
