Question 5320

What factors can increase the reaction distance?

  1. The driver being in poor condition.
  2. Shock absorbers in poor condition.
  3. A roadway in poor condition.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The driver being in poor condition.

Reaction distance depends on how long you take to react and on your speed. If you're drowsy, fatigued, or under the effects of alcohol or drugs, you take longer, and the car travels more meters before you start braking. In the image, the driver is rubbing their eyes from tiredness. Worn shock absorbers or a roadway in poor condition mainly increase braking distance.
