What is the probability that the vehicle pulling out


A vehicle pulls out onto a single lane highway that has a flow rate of 280 veh/hr (poisson distributed). The driver of the vehicle does not look for oncoming traffic. Road conditions and vehicle speeds on the highway are such that it takes 1.5 seconds for an oncoming vehicle to stop once the brakes are applied. Assuming a standard driver reaction time of 2.5 seconds, what is the probability that the vehicle pulling out will get in an accident with oncoming traffic?
