Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

The higher the speed, the more distance you cover during your reaction time, the longer the braking distance and the narrower your field of vision, so the likelihood of an accident increases, and so does its severity. This happens on every type of road, including motorways and dual carriageways.
