What is called the length of time you take to execute your action once you recognize a hazard?

  1. Braking time

  2. Thinking distance

  3. Reaction time

  4. Stopping distance

The correct answer is: Reaction time

Reaction time is the length of time it takes you to execute an action once you recognize a hazard. It is one of the three components of total stopping distance, along with braking time and thinking distance. Braking time refers to the time it takes for your vehicle to come to a complete stop once you engage the brakes, while thinking distance is the distance your vehicle travels while you are reacting to a hazard. Stopping distance is the total distance your vehicle travels while stopping, including both thinking and braking distances. However, these options are incorrect as they do not specifically refer to the time it takes to execute an action once a hazard is recognized. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
