Correct answer
- AAumentan la distancia de reacción.They increase the reaction distance.
Sleepiness and fatigue harm the driver's physical and mental abilities. Fatigue can increase the reaction distance, because the driver may take longer to perceive a danger and react properly. This is supported by the Traffic and Road Safety Code, which mentions the role of fatigue in crashes and the need to prevent its effects at the wheel. So the correct answer is that sleepiness and fatigue increase the reaction distance, making it harder for the driver to respond quickly and effectively to dangerous situations.
