Braking operation includes sensing time
and reaction time. The time of making the
decision of stepping on the brake pedal is
the sensing time. The time of actually lifting
the foot and depressing the pedal is the
reaction time. The average reaction time is
about 0.75 seconds. But this is only the
average value. The reaction time of a
certain driver may be shorter, and the
reaction time of some drivers may be as
long as 2~3 seconds or longer. The
reaction time is affected by age, physical
condition,
vision. Alcohol, drugs and depression can
also have an impact. However, even if the
reaction time is 0.75 seconds, a car
traveling at 100 km/h will run 20 meters
during such time. In an emergency, it will
be a long distance. Therefore, it is
important to keep enough distance from
other vehicles. Of course, the actual
braking distance can vary greatly as factors
such as the road (highway or sandy road),
road condition (wet, dry or icy), tread
pattern, brake status, vehicle weight and
