The stopping distance is the distance the vehicle travels...
Human factor: Reaction, braking, and stopping
Explanation
The **stopping distance** is the total space a vehicle travels from the moment the driver **perceives a danger** until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This includes two main components:
- **Reaction distance**: This is the space the vehicle travels while the driver reacts to the danger and decides to brake.
- **Braking distance**: This is the space the vehicle travels from the moment the driver presses the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Therefore, the stopping distance encompasses the entire process from the perception of danger to the complete stop of the vehicle, which makes **Answer 1** the correct one.
