Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Reaction time is the period that elapses from when the driver perceives an obstacle until they physically respond. This time can be negatively increased due to factors such as advanced age, alcohol or drug consumption, fatigue, and heavy meals. A longer reaction time means that the vehicle will travel more meters before starting to brake. Therefore, maintaining an optimal psychophysical state is essential to react in time to any unforeseen event.
