Very interesting to attempt this.
Most road safety experts say that the average persons reaction time is 3 seconds.

I always thought "my" super fast reflexes would be way quicker, until I tried this.
Best was 2.74, but average was over 3.

I will now drop back a little more from the car in front.

My average was 0.178 seconds, highest 0.220 and lowest 0.103. Not a bad test if someone jumps out in front of you.
