What does braking distance depend on?
What does braking distance depend on?
How effective the braking force is
Effect of vehicle speed on braking distance
Effect of vehicle speed on braking distance
Faster speed = longer braking distance
Effect of wet/icy roads on braking distance
Effect of wet/icy roads on braking distance
Increases braking distance
Why wet/icy roads increase braking distance
Why wet/icy roads increase braking distance
Decrease friction between tyres and road
Effect of worn tyres on braking distance
Effect of worn tyres on braking distance
Increase braking distance (less friction)
Effect of worn brakes on braking distance
Effect of worn brakes on braking distance
Increase braking distance (less braking force)
