Explanation

Stopping distance is the distance the vehicle travels from when an obstacle or danger is perceived until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. In other words, it is the reaction distance plus the braking distance. Braking and stopping distances depend on several factors, such as the condition of the vehicle and the road, the weather, or the driver's skill. Reaction distance depends directly on the driver and on the speed.
