Abstract (en)

The results of the optical reactions of professional drivers of two age groups (41–50 years old and 51–60 years old) were analyzing in this article. The occurrence of a traffic accident frequently depends on how promptly and whether correctly or not a decision is made in an emergency situation, and on how quickly such decision is brought tolife by the driver. Most of the study results show that a driver’s reaction time ranges from 0.4 to 1.5 seconds. Regrettably, the average reaction time is not a steady and invariable value even in case of the same driver. The average reactiontime is influenced by a number of factors. Some of these factors may be improved while others depend on thedriver’s personal body condition.
