John Lee Hookum River Nutrients Registered: 10/12/01 Posts: 2453 Loc: Area 51	As I remember, the automobile driving manual says the average driver's reaction time is: .75 seconds -or- 1 car length for every 10 mph... Test your reaction time with this special test. Click http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/reaction_version5.swf This may drive you crazy for a while,but it's fun to test your reaction time. _________________________ Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. -- Albert Einstein

j 7 Repeat Spawner Registered: 02/09/07 Posts: 1420 Loc: Your monitor	Originally Posted By: Sol 2.5 seconds is the officially agreed on reaction time used by civil engineers when doing traffic analysis and calculations for sight-distance. 2.5 seconds is the average perception reaction time. This is the recomended value from the highway capacity manual or the MUTCD. Its the time from perception of danger to the actual braking execution. _________________________ For some of us, a bad day of fishing is a bad day at work. j7 2012

Dan S. It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Sol River Nutrients Registered: 12/19/03 Posts: 7477 Loc: Poulsbo	Originally Posted By: LoweDown Hey Dan. What's your reaction time? In traffic my reation time is about - 2.5 seconds. Ever sit behind someone at a stop sign while they wait FOREVER, then watch them pull out in front of two cars out of pure frustration and almost cause an accident? People are LAME behind the wheel.
