Under the effects of heat, it is possible that...
A)reaction time increases and aggressiveness decreases.
B)reaction time decreases and aggressiveness increases.
C)reaction time and aggressiveness both increase.Correct
Poor ventilation or a high temperature inside the vehicle can make driving more uncomfortable and even alter our psychophysical state, increasing, for example, our irritability or causing drowsiness, thus increasing our reaction time.
Reaction time is the time that elapses from when the driver sees an obstacle until they react. This time varies depending on the driver's psychophysical state, never due to speed or road conditions.
Although it may seem that the reaction to an obstacle or unexpected situation must be instantaneous, the average reaction time of a driver is approximately 0.75 seconds.
This time will increase with:
- Age.
- Fatigue and drowsiness.
- Consumption of alcohol, drugs, or certain medications.
- Mood.
- The temperature inside the vehicle, etc.
