Correct answer
Yes, reducing it.
Yes; it can make anticipation harder. At excessive speed there is less time to interpret events and respond, and the useful field of vision narrows, making side hazards harder to perceive. Appropriate speed helps observation and response with a margin, but does not guarantee avoiding every crash. Observe the limit and also adapt speed to visibility, road, grip and traffic.
