DMV manual says .75sec
Reaction time varies with the age of the driver and if the driver is paying attention. It also depends on many variables. The DMV does say .75 seconds which equates to 1 car length for every 10 mph. But realisticily it can be up to 1.50 seconds or double what the DMV lists. And that is just the time it takes to put your foot on the brake. It also takes time for the brakes to activate and actually start applying force to the brake pads which can be another .3 second. So assuming a person is driving 55 mph and sees a pedestrian in the road, figureing reaction time, and stopping distance it will take 279.5 feet to come to a complete stop. That is 120.9 feet for the 1.50 second reaction time, 24.2 feet for the brakes to engage, and then 134.4 feet for the car to stop. This is probably about average. Some will react quicker and some will react slower. This is all assuming the road is dry. Add water or snow and this distance increases dramatically.

When does driving involve taking a risk?
Each time you get behind the wheel
Infiniti g35 0-60?
5.4s This is only obtained in the most perfect conditions though. Keep in mind that it's a expert driver behind the wheel. The average driver will not do this time.
What is the average reaction time?
normal 3-7 seconds
Whose only time behind the wheel was a single trip to an airfield?
Charles Lindenburg
What is the average human reaction time is?
Depends on a lot of factors. Perception to finger movement is somewhere in the ballpark of .215 seconds "average". Average range is something like .14 to .33 seconds. Reaction times as low as .1 seconds are likely possible but hard to measure consistently. Reaction times below .12 seconds would make you part of an elite minority. Some resources to check out: www.humanbenchmark.com Normal distribution of reaction times on a specific task. www.visualexpert.com/recources/reactiontime.html Good rundown of factors that influence "reaction time".
How many milliseconds is a typical reflex?
The average (median) reaction time is 215 milliseconds.
Why should the consequences of drunk driving result in mandatory jail time?
Because they made the choice to get behind the wheel.
Which formula would you use to find how long the trip will take?
First find the total miles of the trip, then divide by your average speed (MPH) and the result is the actual driving time (behind the wheel and moving constantly) it will take to get to the destination.
On average a drunk drivers reaction time is slowed by how much?
1 sec. to 2 seconds
What is a average driver's reaction time?
One fourths of a second....still pretty slow though :/
Disadvantage of ruler drop test?
It doesn't measure the exact reaction time. Just the average.
Where are the floor jack lift points on crown Victoria?
If just 1 wheel at a time use the frame just behind the front wheel/ rear in the front of the wheel. For trolley jack, the center support in the front, and for the rear the diff. center.
