Well it's wrong in several ways. Reaction time is the same.
The distance traveled in that time does however increase.
Regulatory authorities also pedal the myth it can take 1.5 to 4 seconds to react to an event. I'd suggest if it took anyone 4 seconds to alter the speed/direction of their vehicle they should have their license confiscated on the spot. (Traffic lights must be a real problem for them
)
Speed can be managed well and with high levels of safety. If you still don't think that is true, take a boat rather than airplane on your next holiday
