Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: takes more time to receive the information needed to drive safely.
When you are distracted, information from the road reaches you later. You notice the car braking or the pedestrian crossing too late, and you also react late, so you need more meters to stop. Without that information, you cannot drive safely. In the image, the driver is touching the car's screen while driving.
