You must brake hard for a hazard ahead. Which condition will make your car travel farther after you press the brake pedal?
Correct answer: The road is wet, and your tires are badly worn.
Why
Total stopping distance has two parts. Before braking starts, you need at least one second to see the hazard and decide, and about 3/4 second to move your foot. After that, the car travels a braking distance that depends on speed, brakes, tires, road surface and weather. Keep your tires and brakes in good condition, and slow down on wet or icy roads.
