Driving requires excellent reactions, and we all know that one’s reaction time tends to wane over time. A London based company JustPark has created a game to put your reactions to the test. To create the algorithm which determines your driving age, they recorded the reaction times of 2,000 people aged 18+.
All you need to do is hit the keyboard the moment you see the red stop sign and it guesses your age based on your reaction time. See if your reaction time matches your actual age!
From those who were surveyed, a few interesting trends came up – people who drink one to five cups of tea or coffee tended to have better reactions, and heavy drinkers – those who consume between 31 and 40 units of alcohol a week – had slower reactions.
Drivers who used their car most regularly had better reaction times. In the battle of the sexes, men came out on top with an average of 547 milliseconds, compared to the women’s average of 566 milliseconds
Interestingly, left-handed people had an average time of 461 milliseconds, compared to their right-handed counterparts at 525 milliseconds.
