Correct answer

  • Bse pierde información del entorno.information about the surroundings is missed.
Explanation

The correct answer is that under the effects of depression, information about the surroundings is missed. This is because depression can seriously affect the driver's attention, concentration and perception, which can make it harder to notice signs, other vehicles and pedestrians. According to the General Traffic Regulations, in the article on physical and mental fitness, certain mental disorders, such as depression, can affect the ability to drive. A driver who does not perceive their surroundings properly is a danger to themselves and to others.
