Stopping a vehicle with good brakes from 20 mph under good conditions requires:

  1. 40 feet including thinking distance

  2. 50 feet including thinking distance

  3. 63 feet including thinking distance

  4. 75 feet including thinking distance

The correct answer is: 63 feet including thinking distance

Stopping a vehicle with good brakes from 20 mph under good conditions requires a certain distance to come to a complete stop. In this case, the correct answer is 63 feet including thinking distance. This distance includes both the time it takes for the driver to recognize the need to stop (thinking distance) as well as the actual distance the vehicle travels during braking (braking distance). The total stopping distance is a combination of these two factors, and it's crucial for drivers to be aware of the distance required to stop their vehicle safely under different conditions.
