What factors can cause the reaction distance to increase?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The reaction distance is the space the vehicle travels during the time it takes the driver to react to an unforeseen event. This distance increases if the reaction time is prolonged due to the driver's poor psychophysical state, such as fatigue, sleepiness, or alcohol consumption. It also increases if driving at a higher speed, since more meters are covered in the same time. The condition of the road or the vehicle affects the braking distance, but not the reaction distance.
