In Italian traffic rules (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the calculated reaction distance (spazio percorso nel tempo di reazione of 1 second) at a speed of 100 km/h?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Approximately 28 metres

  1. Step 1: At 100 km/h, vehicle speed is m/s. In one second of reaction time, the car travels roughly 28 metres before brakes are applied. Answer: Approximately 28 metres. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to Italian traffic regulations under the Codice della Strada.
