−	~~The~~ distance a ~~car~~ travels between the driver noticing a hazard and coming to a stop.	+	==Key Stage 4==
		+	===Meaning===
		+	'''Stopping distance''' is the distance a vehicle travels between the driver noticing a hazard and coming to a stop.
		+
		+	===About Stopping Distance===
		+	'''Stopping distance''' is made of two parts:
		+	*[[Thinking Distance]] - The distance travelled by the vehicle between noticing a hazard and putting the foot on the brakes.
		+	*[[Braking Distance]] - The distance travelled once the vehicle has applied the brakes.
		+
		+	'''Stopping Distance''' = [[Thinking Distance]] + [[Braking Distance]]
		+
		+	'''Stopping distance''' depends on:
		+	*The [[speed]] of the vehicle - The greater the [[speed]] the larger the '''stopping distance'''.
		+	*The [[Human Reaction Time\|reaction time]] of the driver - The longer the [[Human Reaction Time\|reaction time]] the longer the [[Thinking distance\|thinking distance]] and therefore '''stopping distance'''.
		+	*The conditions of the road and tyres - The less [[friction]] between the road and tyres the longer the [[Braking Distance\|braking distance]] and therefore '''stopping distance'''.
