Correct answer
- BHasta 10 veces mayor que si está seca.up to 10 times longer than when it is dry.
Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from when the driver applies the brake until the vehicle stops. This distance may vary depending on the following factors: - The speed you are driving at. - The condition of the vehicle's tyres, suspension and brakes. - The vehicle's load. - The condition of the road surface. - The weather conditions on the road. Braking distance can double when the carriageway is wet and be up to 10 times longer on ice or snow.
