Thinking Distance
Distance vehicle travels during driver’s reaction time
Braking Distance
Distance vehicle travels from when brakes are applied to when vehicle stops completely
What Affects Thinking Distance
What Affects Braking Distance
What Affects Both Thinking and Braking Distance
Speed
Link: Speed and Thinking Distance/Braking Distance
Speed ∝ Thinking Distance
Speed^2 ∝ Braking Distance
Stopping Distance
Thinking Distance + Braking Distance
