During driving, what is exactly defined as reaction distance?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the one indicating the distance traveled from perception to action. To understand this better, we must distinguish three key concepts in road safety: Reaction Distance: This is the meters the vehicle travels from the moment your eyes see the danger until your foot hits the brake. During this time (reaction time), the car continues at the same speed. Braking Distance: This is the distance traveled from the moment you hit the brake until the car stops completely. Stopping Distance: This is the sum of the previous two (Reaction Braking). Therefore, the option mentioning 'braking until total stop' refers to braking distance, and the one mentioning 'separation' refers to safety distance.
