Question
Reaction time is .19 seconds
(c) You are driving on the highway at 60 mph behind another vehicle driving at the same speed. How far does your car move over a time interval equal to your reaction time? The two-second rule states that you should stay at least two seconds behind any vehicle that is directly in front of you. Why is this time so much larger than your reaction time?
