Correct answer
Yes, it affects the reaction distance.
Reaction distance at the wheel is defined as the distance travelled by the vehicle during the reaction time. Reaction time is the time it takes us to react to a danger or obstacle, so the longer the reaction time, the greater the reaction distance travelled. This distance also varies with speed, since the higher the speed at which we travel, the greater the reaction distance.
