Does vehicle speed affect a driver's reaction distance?
Reaction distance at the wheel is defined as the distance the vehicle travels during the reaction time.
Reaction time is the time it takes to react to a hazard or obstacle, so the longer the reaction time, the greater the reaction distance traveled.
This distance will also vary with speed, since the higher the speed at which we drive, the greater the reaction distance.
