The average reaction time for a driver is typically around 1.5 to 2.5 seconds. This encompasses the time it takes to recognize a hazard, decide on a response, and initiate the necessary action, such as braking or steering. Factors such as distractions, fatigue, and age can influence this reaction time. Overall, maintaining focus and minimizing distractions can help improve reaction times while driving.
That could be argued; but reaction time can be adjusted for with driving habits.
Driving reaction time is the time taken for a driver to see something in the road ahead and to react. This is separate to the braking distance.

Reaction time
Depends on what vehicle you are driving. The average car stopping distance including reaction time at 60 mph is about 275 feet.
Depends on the type of vehicle you are driving, road conditions, driver reaction time, etc. The average car will take 121 feet to stop after the brakes are applied. Factor in reaction time and the car will travel 265 feet before it stops.
A longer reaction time and increased control over the vehicle.
Divide the distance by the average speed.
