Not really, safe driving is not about split second decisions. Cars have a lot of inertia, at highway speeds, it takes several seconds to stop your car, and your ability to avoid obstacles is limited. Even with instant reactions, it won't make much of a difference, the car can't do better. So driving is more about planning what you are going to do for the next 10 seconds and making sure nothing bad can happen during that time period, if things are not sure, take defensive action (slow down, ...). In fact, most good drivers don't pay attention to what's just in front of them, they can't do anything about it anyways. Instead, they will continuously focus their attention on what comes next and act accordingly.
