a person with good judgment.  Acting with or exhibiting good judgment; reasonable. A sensible choice. Sensible means practical and reasonable.

But sensible is the voice of reason, and when you're tooling along in your convertible, you'll be grateful for the sensible 15-mile-per-hour speed limit posted at that sharp turn where the road drops off into the canyon. Sensible comes from the Latin sensibilis, meaning "perceptible by the senses," a meaning that eventually evolved into "having good sense, reasonable.".
