Correct answer

  • Bmayor es la gravedad de las lesiones en un accidente.injuries in a crash are more serious.

The higher the speed, the greater the energy of the impact and the more serious the injuries in a crash. The braking distance and the distance travelled during the reaction time also increase, and the reaction time itself does not get shorter with speed.
