Quite interesting. Do this test, then do it while texting, eating , watching tv, talking

my average was 0.275, 9 meters before i start braking

[Headbanger]

well then, your doomed if you travel 9m being other vehicles at 70mph...

2nd round I averaged .46something. Are you allowed to tune up your mouse?

[LBD]

Brake is on the right...but what if you are left handed?...Just tried it with a LH person whos reaction time is faster left handed....any one else notice this?

[TIBLE_90]

I'm averaging 0.3, interesting

[rastuscat]

Interesting for sure.

But what about your reaction time to something that you weren't expecting? In this test, you are reacting to something that you knew to expect................how about the time it takes you to react to something you weren't expecting?

Which is normally what happens.

Interesting.

Just fitted sintered brake pads and Ohlins to my mouse. Time down to 0.356.

I'm goind to fit a Braided USB cable to my mouse.

Two runs - average over both 0.39. 12 metres (ish)

[Kickaha]

I was averaging about .4 somethings, once I started eating my toast, txting and watching TV it went up into the high .5

[release_the_bees]

0.36719999999999997 second average!

[Oakie]

.43 average.

[Pseudonym]

Sweet!
0.26 average over two runs!
Be because I’m into computer games more than anything else though…

This one from a thread earlier in the year was a good one too!

[flyingcrocodile46]

.373 average on second run. Prolly more like .6 to .7 in a real life emergency though. .24 on second run at the sheep.

Yes I have always been quick with the sheep

Yeah, these things need to increase the time between tests so you have less idea when it's coming. All good and well doing a test expecting the sheep to run but it's not quite real life

[Fly_boy]

Interesting...... 0.2 normally, 0.3 after a few drinks maybe the myth that alcohol impares driving is true :laugh: . note i NEVER drink an drive, its just not worth it :niceone:

[CHOPPA]

.30 that was fun cheers

[D3ALN]

my average was 0.349 then when i was txtng at same time 0.637 lol

Interesting. I score 25 - 50% faster times on this one than on the other...

[Drew]

Interesting. I score 25 - 50% faster times on this one than on the other...Same, .45 on the first one, and .25 on the sheep one.

The idea is also flawed in that practice allows you to react to things before your higher brain functions are aware of what is going on. That is why martial artists practice so hard. Ever started braking before you were fully aware the car ahead had stomped on the picks? Yeah, that's why.
