The braking distance is the distance covered by the vehicle from the moment the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a stop. This distance can vary depending on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling, the condition of the tyres, suspension, brakes, the vehicle's load, road conditions, and weather conditions.
