CONF iture,
It's my opinion too.

Between visual and audio perception, the visual is a lot faster. It's not only the speed of light, versus speed of sound difference, but the speed of reaction to one versus the other stimuli to the brain.

Perhaps it would be helpful to share what race car drivers are taught:

widen the eye scan to over both sides of the track, and forward from front of car until as far as possible, and monitor any change of color, reflection, or shape that is abnormal. Upon detecting a change, focus on it, determine what it is, and react if necessary. The transition from monitoring to focus, to reaction is fractions of seconds, enough to have a correct reaction in time to avoid critical accident situations - as at the speed of a race car, in a second or two, the distance covered maybe too long....
