Correct answer
- BAumenta el tiempo de reacción y la agresividad.reaction time and aggressiveness increase.
Understanding how heat affects driving is important for road safety. According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), environmental conditions can influence driver behaviour. Excessive heat can increase the driver's reaction time because of dehydration and fatigue. At the same time, it can increase aggressiveness because of heat stress, which may lead to more hurried and impulsive driving. So the correct answer is that heat increases both reaction time and aggressiveness.
