Misunderstanding Reaction Time Factors
Students often confuse the effects of tiredness, alcohol, drugs, and distractions on reaction time, thinking they only affect one aspect of driving.
To fix this, students should understand that all these factors can collectively increase reaction time, leading to longer stopping distances. Emphasizing the cumulative impact of these factors can help clarify their effects.
