Well, there's a few things you can do =). Test to see if the stopping distances are correct given the initial velocity. Look into the thinking distances and other various things.

We can't really help you until you first show us your effort. Please read the posting Guidelines again.
 
I know their average acceleration for the braking distance are diff, but could that be the case? I'm not sure if I have to worry about the thinking distance either.

Just glancing at the progression of distances, I'd say you were right. Show your work for how you calculated the accelerations.
