Correct answer

  • ASí, porque la conducción es más incómoda y requiere más esfuerzo.Yes, because driving is less comfortable and takes more effort.
Explanation

A poor road surface makes you watch out more for potholes and bumps, transmits more vibration and requires more steering corrections. This extra physical and mental effort makes fatigue set in sooner, whether the driver has a lot of experience or little.
