Show transcript
Stopping distance is the distance travelled both as a drive reacts and then for the brakes to bring a vehicle to a stop
Reaction time of a drive can be affected by tiredness, drugs, alcohol or distractions
Braking distance can be affected by adverse road and weather conditions and the condition of the vehicle
When braking, work is done on the brakes that heats them up
If brakes overheat they can stop working effectively and lead to a loss of control
