Complex Reaction Ability

A driver may encounter unexpected hazards that require more than simple practiced tactics to deal with. Situations like these require complex reaction abilities. Your ability to react to changing driving situations is critical to being a safe driver. Having complex reaction abilities means that you can respond to many changes at once. Say, for example, you are approaching a busy intersection with the light turning yellow, the road is icy and a car is approaching quickly from behind. You could change lanes, turn onto the shoulder or brake hard risking sliding thought the intersection or being hit from behind. If you have good complex reaction abilities, you will have a better chance of avoiding an accident when multiple hazards occur at once.
