The braking distance is one of the most important features of the braking system of a vehicle during its operation. The distance depends on many factors related to technical part of the vehicle, road surface or the driver. This paper focuses on the examination of the impact of the momentary weight of the vehicle on its braking distance. It aims at explaining the issue through practical tests and drawing conclusions for further research and practical application in expert activities.
