Show answer
Correct answer
- CDistancia de detención.Stopping distance.
Reaction distance: the metres the vehicle travels from when we notice an obstacle or something unexpected until we react to it, by braking or turning the steering wheel. Braking distance: the metres the vehicle travels from when the driver brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Stopping distance: the metres the vehicle travels from when the driver notices an obstacle until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. In other words, it is the reaction distance plus the braking distance.
