Correct answer
reaction distance.
Reaction distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle during the reaction time, and is therefore the distance covered from the moment a driver perceives an obstacle on the road until they actually press the brake pedal. Whether this is greater or smaller will depend on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and the driver's psychophysical state.
