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