AMDifficulty 1/5

Can the distance travelled before reacting be reduced?

Correct answer

Yes, by anticipating what is ahead.

Yes. Observing and anticipating possible hazards can help detect them earlier and react more promptly. Reaction distance depends on both speed and reaction time; anticipation does not eliminate that time or guarantee a fixed distance. Maintain a sufficient following distance and adapt speed, rather than seeking the smallest possible gap.
