What does braking distance mean?

Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle travels from the moment braking begins until the car comes to a complete stop when it is moving at a certain speed. It is the distance covered by the vehicle from the instant the driver sharply presses the brake pedal until the vehicle fully stops, starting from a specific initial speed. Braking distance consists of two parts: reaction distance and braking distance. The shorter the braking distance, the better the braking performance of the car. Due to its intuitive nature, it has become a widely used indicator for evaluating braking effectiveness. Correctly understanding the braking distance of a vehicle plays a crucial role in ensuring driving safety. Braking regulations in various countries stipulate the braking distance for different vehicle types at specified initial speeds. Vehicles that exceed this distance are considered unqualified and are not permitted to operate on the road.
