Question 7711

Can the driver's reaction time increase?

  1. No, it is always less than one second.
  2. No, it can only decrease.
  3. Yes, depending, for example, on their physical condition.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, depending, for example, on their physical condition.

Yes. Under good conditions, it's around 0.75 seconds, but drowsiness, fatigue, alcohol, certain medications, or illness increase it. Alcohol can double it, so it doesn't always stay below one second.
