Which distance is traveled from the moment the brakes are applied to the vehicle stops?

The distance traveled from the moment the brakes are applied to the vehicle stops

Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment you apply the brakes until it comes to a full stop. It represents the part of stopping distance that occurs during deceleration after braking begins. The total stopping distance can be broken into perception distance (time to notice the hazard), reaction distance (time to react after noticing), and braking distance (the time during braking). So the correct choice matches the definition of braking distance. The other options describe perception distance, a subtraction that doesn’t isolate braking distance, or an unclear term.

The total stopping distance minus perception distance

The distance traveled before seeing a hazard

The surface distance after braking stops
