Question

Near Notter you explain: 'Reaction distance grows with speed just as fast as braking distance — both quadratically.'

Accepted Answer

False — False — trap: confusing it with quadratic growth. Reaction distance is linear: 50→100 km/h gives 13.75→27.50 m (2x). Braking distance is quadratic: 12.50→50.00 m (4x) (Book p.125-126).
