Question 1117
Reaction time is defined as...
- The time it takes the vehicle to stop with the brake applied.
- The time that passes from when the driver sees a hazard until the vehicle stops.
- The time that passes from when the driver sees a hazard until they respond to it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The time that passes from when the driver sees a hazard until they respond to it.
Reaction time ends when the driver begins to respond to the danger, for example, by applying the brake. It does not include the subsequent braking time.
