Stop sign or light, preventing an accident, If a car in front of you suddenly stops. You have to have a quick reaction time other wise you could get in an accident.

Well.. I think
~when you are about to hit someone
~ when there are livestock or animals crossing.
~when you are behind someone and they stop.
2nd-you need to be more alert,cautious,and aware

When your driving and someone is turning, you have to know your reaction time so that you dont rear end them.

When your comming to a stop sign in the winter, you need to know when u have to stop because of the weather.

When your comming on to a highway from an exit ramp, if someone speeds up you have to react to that.

1. when a car is stopping in front of you.
2. when animals are in the middle of the road and you need to stop.
3. when you are coming up to a stop light or when you need to stop

1 time that you would need to know your reaction time while driving would be when you need to know how fast you should be going weather at or under the speed limit, for the faster you go, the faster your reaction time should be. Another time would be when you get a call, does your reaction time allow for any extra time? And then you need to know your reaction time when your passing other cars or trailing behind them for if they stop suddenly, you will need to as well or if they swerve, you will need to be able to avoid it.

you have to have fast reaction time to drive fast on a windy road so you do not crash

You would need to know your reaction times as in like if someone suddenly turns in front of you you have to react fast to not hit them. And when a deer or something crosses the road. When a green stoplight all the sudden turns yellow you have to decide what to do.

When you have to stop at a stop sign, or when you back up or turn into reverse. When you are going on the interstate and the speed limit changes.

When u come to a stop sign or light, something in the road, or to prevent an accident. your reaction time is important to your wellfare and others.

If there is road work going on u need to slow down and adjust to the road conditions, and road works. If u don't u could get in an accident and possibly hit a road worker, car, or machinery.

~ On icy roads- The car can turn one way and you need to get it back in line. Regain control


~ Stop lights- They can change from green to red in seconds. Stop faster

~ Cross walks- You never know when someone will be crossing the street.
Stop

This is Tea, when your driving and the light changes to a red or if you come to a STOP SIGN u need to have your own reaction time. also when on the highway and some one butts in front of you, you need reaction to slow down and not hit them. another if a kid or animal runs into the middle of the road.

Cell phone, if you are talking on your cell phone it could slow your reaction time and it could make you get in an acciedent.

Eating, if you are eating while you are driving it could slow your reaction time because some of your attention would be on eating and it would take that attention off your driving.

Loud music, if your music is loud it slows your reaction time by distracting you and makeing it to were you cant hear certain things

Someone would need to know their reaction time like if an animal was crossing the road. Or if a car in front of you stops really fast. Or if a green light suddenly turns yellow.

- When you are coming up to a yello light turning red.

- When there is road work you have
to be ready to react to it.

- When something is in the road for ex: A rock,big piece of card board etc.

stop light, stay few feet from the car in front of you, preventing a accident. You have to have a quick reaction time to stop otherwise u might hit the car in front of you.

you should have new one every two weeks

If a animal comes out in front of you, or a kid, or even the stop light can turn red really fast u need to be able to react fast.
