Car permit · Speed
Which of these has no effect on how far your vehicle travels before it stops?
Correct answer: The hour of the day.
Answer options
- AThe type and condition of your tires
- BHow well your brakes work
- CThe hour of the day Correct
- DHow quickly you react
Why
Total stopping distance is the ground you cover while reacting plus the distance needed to brake, which depends on speed, brakes, tires, and the road surface. Darkness can make hazards harder to spot, but the clock itself does not change how far the vehicle needs to stop.
Tip When judging how quickly you can stop, think about speed, reaction time, brakes, tires, and pavement, not the hour.
