Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: on the condition of the driver, the road, and the vehicle.
Stopping distance is the sum of reaction distance and braking distance, and each part depends on different things. Your condition, such as drowsiness or the effects of alcohol, changes your reaction distance. The condition of the vehicle and the road, such as the brakes, tires, or rain, changes braking distance.
