Question 4255
As speed increases...
- reaction ability increases.
- reaction distance increases.
- reaction time decreases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: reaction distance increases.
While you react, the car keeps moving at the same speed, so the faster you go, the more meters it travels before you start braking. With a reaction time of about 0.75 seconds, that's about 10 meters at 50 km/h and about 25 at 120 km/h. Driving faster doesn't shorten your reaction time, and it also reduces your ability to react.
