Answer 7

The response time, is the amount of time it takes the driver to respond to a situation, to enable him to safely avoid a potential accident.  i.e. the driver needs a set minimum distance gap between his car and the car in front, (this increases as the speed increases) because, if he sees the car stop in front, he needs to think about applying the brakes and be able to stop without hitting the car, in wet weather, this distance gap needs to be greater, because of slippery road surface conditions and therefore, it follows that the response time is longer.
