(Read somewhere that it's more 1.2 seconds for the majority while some react within 0,2 seconds.) The guy had a bit more than one second if he were looking forward and reacting like a champ. IN this case most folk would not have reacted well. Some excellent drivers would have been able to swerve and break at the same time, but you need automatic reflexes for that to make it. And this would either necessitate competitive driving skills or a yearly extreme conditions training to get the reflexes in order. I did that once early on as a driver and the teachers said that you lose those reflexes within 1-2 years. Xir was innocent more or less, but the car sensors should have been able to pick it up way before 2 seconds. The woman caused her own death in  any case.</blockquote>
