Show answer

Correct answer

  • AA mayor velocidad, menor campo visual.The higher the speed, the narrower the field of vision.
Explanation

As speed increases, the useful field of vision narrows and your eyes focus on a distant point: this is the so-called tunnel effect. You lose information from the sides, such as pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles joining the road.
