Question 108
Braking distance is…

- The distance traveled from the moment the driver sees the obstacle until the driver stops the vehicle.
- The distance traveled from the moment the driver applies the brake until the vehicle stops.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The distance traveled from the moment the driver applies the brake until the vehicle stops.
Braking distance begins when the brake is applied and ends when the vehicle stops; it does not include the distance traveled beforehand while the driver reacts.
