What is meant by reaction distance while driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Reaction distance is the distance the vehicle travels during the reaction time; that is, from the moment the driver perceives a hazard until they respond to it (usually by pressing the brake). During this interval (which typically ranges between 0.5 and 1 second under normal conditions), the vehicle continues traveling at the same speed. It is important to distinguish it from: Braking distance: The distance covered from the moment the brake is pressed until the car stops. Safety distance: The gap we must maintain with the vehicle in front to avoid a collision.
