Will the stopping distance vary if we drink alcoholic beverages?
A)Yes, the stopping distance will be shorter.
B)No, the stopping distance will not be modified.
C)Yes, the stopping distance will be greater.Correct
With the consumption of alcoholic beverages, we will take longer to react and consequently the reaction distance will increase, which will cause the stopping distance to also increase.
The stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance plus the braking distance.
Therefore, the stopping distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver perceives a danger until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
