Correct answer

  • ASí, a mayor velocidad menor capacidad de anticipación.Yes, the higher the speed, the lower the ability to anticipate.
Explanation

At higher speed there is less time to notice what is happening, interpret it and decide, and the useful field of vision narrows. That is why the ability to anticipate dangers, such as a pedestrian or cyclist who suddenly appears, is reduced, whatever the road conditions.
