Show answer
Correct answer
- CA más velocidad, menos campo visual.The higher the speed, the narrower the field of vision.
Explanation
The higher the speed, the narrower the field of vision: your eyes focus on a distant point and you lose perception of what is happening at the sides. This is called tunnel vision. That is why at high speed it is harder to spot pedestrians or vehicles at the sides.
