Tiredness can slow down a driver's reaction time, leading to longer thinking distances and potentially longer stopping distances.

Confusing Stopping Distance Components
Students often confuse stopping distance with just braking distance, neglecting the thinking distance.
Remember that stopping distance is the sum of thinking distance and braking distance. Always break it down into these two components when calculating.
