* Data from state driver's manual The state driver's manual lists the reaction distances, braking distances, and total stopping distances for automobiles traveling at different initial speeds (Table 2.11). Use the data to determine the driver's reaction time interval and the acceleration of the automobile while braking. The numbers assume dry surfaces for passenger vehicles.
