Correct answer
- Cel estado del conductor.the condition of the driver.
Reaction time is the time that passes from when the driver sees an obstacle until they react. This time varies depending on the driver's physical and mental state, never because of the speed or the condition of the road. Although it may seem that the reaction to an obstacle or an unexpected situation should be instant, a driver's average reaction time is about 0.75 seconds, between 0.5 and 1 second.
