Perception/Reaction Time & Distance |

|
Braking maneuver studies show that approximately 85% of the
motoring public perceives and reacts to an observed hazard in a
time period of 1.5 seconds or less.
While many factors affect this "P&R" time,
coordination, concentration, eyesight and attention predominate.
While the famous race car drivers Mario Andretti and
Shirley Muldowney would have a "P&R" time of well
under 1.5 seconds, the majority of normal drivers would have
"P&R" times of approximately 1.5 seconds. |
