Explanation
Perception distance indicates how far your vehicle travels, in ideal weather conditions, from the time you see a hazard until your brain recognizes it. Perception distance can vary depending on many factors, such as the weather conditions, the driver's mental and physical conditions, and the hazard itself. For an alert driver, the average perception time is 0.75 to 1 second.
