No car would survive a normal rush hour if the drivers had this slow reaction.
In 100m sprint the starting reaction time is close to 1/10 second.
In high scool we did an experiment using stop watches. Many of us recorded around 1/10 second reaction time many times. During that 1/10 we received a pressure in the left hand, and "shortly" thereafter stopped a watch with the right hand.
I think if you divide your figures by 10 you are in the ball park.
