Correct answer
- Adistancia de reacciónreaction distance
Reaction distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver perceives a stimulus (such as a traffic sign or an obstacle) until they start to act, by braking or steering. It depends directly on the driver's reaction time. Braking distance, on the other hand, is the distance the vehicle needs to stop completely once braking has started. Understanding these distances helps to prevent accidents.
