Question 2519
What is braking distance?
- The distance the vehicle travels during reaction time.
- The distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver perceives an obstacle until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
- The distance the vehicle travels from the moment we press the brake until it comes to a complete stop.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The distance the vehicle travels from the moment we press the brake until it comes to a complete stop.
Braking distance begins when the brake is applied and ends when the vehicle becomes stationary. It does not include the distance traveled during reaction time.
