What consequence does a slower reaction time have on stopping distance?

Question image: What consequence does a slower reaction time have on stopping distance?
  • A It shortens the stopping distance
  • It lengthens the stopping distance
  • C It has no consequence
  • D It automatically reduces the vehicle's speed

Why this is the correct answer

A slower reaction time lengthens the distance covered before braking begins, so the total stopping distance is greater and the risk of an accident increases.
