Which of these components of stopping distance is the longest?

ANSWER BREAKDOWN
  • A. Incorrect. "Perception distance." is not correct. At highway speeds, braking distance is the significant component. (e.g., at 55mph: Perception~142ft, Reaction~61ft, Braking~216ft).
  • B. Incorrect. "Reaction distance." is not correct. At highway speeds, braking distance is the significant component. (e.g., at 55mph: Perception~142ft, Reaction~61ft, Braking~216ft).
  • C. Correct. At highway speeds, braking distance is the significant component. (e.g., at 55mph: Perception~142ft, Reaction~61ft, Braking~216ft).
  • D. Incorrect. "They are all the same." is not correct. At highway speeds, braking distance is the significant component. (e.g., at 55mph: Perception~142ft, Reaction~61ft, Braking~216ft).
