At 40 mph, a vehicle travels approximately 58 feet per second. The average reaction time for a driver is about 1.5 seconds, which means the reaction distance would be around 87 feet (1.5 seconds x 58 feet/second). Additionally, the stopping distance will vary depending on road conditions and vehicle braking capabilities. Therefore, at 40 mph, the total stopping distance can be around 120-140 feet when factoring in both reaction and braking distances.
No, they have different meanings.Following distance is the safe distance to follow behind a moving motor vehicle.Stopping distance is the combination of the drivers reaction time to apply the brakes and the time the vehicle takes to come to a halt.
For a car with good brakes and a length of 4m, a dry road with a driver with average reaction time it will take approximately 36m/118 feet/nine car lengths for it to stop. This can be divided up into two sections the thinking distance/reaction distance of 12m and a braking distance of 24m. Like the previous answer stated the braking distance can be changed depending on the road surface type and weather conditions or if the car is fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System Thinking distance can be increased by drinking alcohol or taking some types of drugs.

No, it just tastes nice.
Nothing good will come from this. sight, reaction time, and the ability to process information are all vital to safe driving. hallucinogens produce side-effects that directly change those three things.
Stopping Sight Distance
Yes, hallucinogens like LSD and psilocybin can slow down reaction time by impairing cognitive functions such as attention and perception. This can make it dangerous to drive or operate machinery while under the influence of these substances.
The vehicle's reaction distance depends on the driver's reaction time.
A vehicle's reaction distance is the distance it travels while a driver reacts to a hazard and applies the brakes. It is the distance the vehicle covers before the driver starts to slow down to avoid a potential collision.
reaction distance is the distance travelled from the time you see and analyze a threat, to the time you actually physically react.
The stopping distance of a car can be determined by considering the car's speed, reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a complete stop. The stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance (distance traveled during the driver's reaction time) and the braking distance (distance traveled while the brakes are applied). It can be calculated using the formula: Stopping distance Reaction distance Braking distance.
Reaction time is the delay between perceiving a stimulus and initiating a response, like applying the brakes in a car. A faster reaction time reduces reaction distance—the total distance traveled during the reaction time. A slower reaction time results in a longer reaction distance, leading to increased stopping distances.
most harddrug influence judgment and coordination, mostly Nervous system depressants(alcohol, opiates, some pain and sleep medication) and hallucinogens (LSD, mushrooms, some cactii) marihuana might influence it by increasing reaction time, but usually makes people drive more careful
One alcoholic drink will start to impair judgment and reasoning.
