Correct answer
- Aaumenta el tiempo de reacción.increases reaction time.
Reaction time is the time from when the driver sees an obstacle until they react. This time varies with the driver's physical and mental state, never with speed or the condition of the road. Although it may seem that the reaction to an obstacle or an unexpected situation should be instant, a driver's average reaction time is about 0.75 seconds, between 0.5 and 1 second. The most important rules to avoid an accident caused by sleepiness or fatigue are: - If you feel tired or sleepy while driving, the best thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes. - Rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most. - Always watch for the signs and symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue.
