Correct answer
- ASí.Yes.
Accidents caused by sleepiness can happen at any time of day. Drowsiness is an important risk factor identified in Spain's traffic rules, which point out that other factors that can affect the driver's physical and mental abilities, including fatigue and lack of sleep, matter both during the day and at night. The Traffic and Road Safety Code mentions the need to raise awareness of drowsiness and its impact on road safety, which shows that it can cause accidents at any time, not only at night.
