Question

As you approach a green light, reduce reaction time by _____the brake, so you can stop sooner in unexpected situations like this.

Answer 1

Answer: Covering

Explanation: You basically have your foot already over the brake aka "covering" your break. It reduces reaction time because your foot is already close to the break

Answer 2

The importance of "watching" the green light turn red at a road crossing is emphasised here. The message of green light changing red is sensed by the sensory nerves. This message is sent to the brain by these nerve cells. The brain understands the message (that we should apply the brake) and delivers it to the muscles that express the response via the motor neurons (applying the brake).​
