Braking Distance

• What is breaking distance?

  Distance a vehicle travels while braking
• How is breaking distance defined?

  It is how far a vehicle travels from brakes
• What factors can affect breaking distance?

  Adverse road and weather conditions
• How do adverse road conditions impact breaking distance?

  They can increase the distance required to stop
• What are adverse road conditions?

  Wet, icy, or slippery road surfaces
• What is the effect of poor vehicle condition on breaking distance?

  It may increase the breaking distance needed
• What can poor vehicle condition include?

  Worn brakes or tires
• How do wet road conditions affect braking distance?

  They increase the distance needed to stop
• What is the relationship between vehicle speed and breaking distance?

  Higher speed increases breaking distance
• If a vehicle's brakes are worn, what happens to its breaking distance?

  It increases due to reduced braking power
• What is a poor condition of the vehicle that affects breaking distance?

  Worn brakes
• How does weather influence breaking distance?

  Weather can create slippery road conditions
• What is the impact of tire condition on breaking distance?

  Poor tire condition increases breaking distance
• What is the effect of road surface on breaking distance?

  It can either increase or decrease distance
• What is the relationship between braking distance and vehicle's brakes?

  Braking distance is affected by brake condition
• How would you describe the braking distance in adverse weather?

  It is typically longer than in good weather
• What factors contribute to poor braking performance?

  Worn brakes, poor tire condition, and wet roads
• What can cause poor vehicle condition?

  Worn brakes or tires
• Why is it important to maintain vehicle brakes?

  To ensure effective braking distance
• If a vehicle is traveling at high speed, what should be considered regarding braking distance?

  It will require a longer distance to stop
• How do braking systems affect overall vehicle safety?

  They directly influence stopping distances
