Perception Distance, Reaction Distance and Braking Distance
This distance your vehicle travels while stopping is?total stopping distance
The total stopping distance includes the perception distance, reaction time and braking distance. The distance that your vehicle is traveling and then pressing on the brake after seeing a hazard, is the total stopping distance.
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
Perception Distance + Reaction Distance+ Braking Distance.
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
When traveling 30-mph, the braking distance is 45-feet, and the total stopping distance is 75-feet. This is the length of a semi-truck and trailer.
It is the total stopping time.

Total Stopping Distance
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96
The total stopping distance for a car travelling at 30 mph on a dry surface is about 75 feet. However, you may wish to note that in most countries, driving a car on the pavement is illegal.
