Does speed influence the driver's ability to anticipate?
A)It depends on the road conditions.
B)No.
C)Yes, the higher the speed, the lower the anticipation capacity.Correct
As speed increases, the time available to observe the surroundings, process information and react to an unexpected event is reduced. In addition, the "tunnel effect" occurs, which narrows the field of vision and makes it difficult to perceive hazards on the sides. Therefore, a high speed noticeably decreases the ability to anticipate.
