How does higher speed affect a vehicle's stopping distance?

302. How does higher speed affect a vehicle's stopping distance?

It affects reaction distance but not braking distance.
It affects braking distance only on wet roads.

✓ It increases the distance needed to stop.

As speed increases, the vehicle travels farther while the driver reacts and requires more distance to brake. This means the total stopping distance increases significantly as speed rises.
