[SystemSafety] Small but useful Detail on Road Stopping Distances

[Gareth Lock]

Peter,

Interesting to know why there is a difference. I can see in some circumstances there being a reduced reaction time in aviation because of training and situational awareness, but the opposite would be that there are many times when the low-attention threshold is crossed and therefore reaction times are increased…

Either way, the link and information is useful for me.

Thank you.
