    This document compares the stopping distances of vehicles traveling at various speeds on dry and wet roads. It found that stopping distances increase linearly with speed on both dry and wet surfaces. Wet roads require slightly longer stopping distances than dry roads, with a difference of only a few meters, likely due to tires slipping more when braking on wet surfaces. In conclusion, driving speed and road conditions both influence stopping distance, with wet roads necessitating longer distances to come to a complete stop.
