Correct answer
the ability to concentrate and safety to decrease.
Driving fatigue reduces the driver's ability to concentrate and their safety at the wheel. When we drive for many hours without resting, our performance gradually begins to decline, making driving increasingly dangerous without us hardly noticing. The effects of fatigue include the following changes: Reduced ability to concentrate: The driver becomes distracted more easily and more frequently. Reduced precision of movements: Movements become slower and less precise, increasing the number of errors made during manoeuvres. Vision and hearing problems: Vision can become blurred and hearing sensitivity can decrease. Physical discomfort: Increased feelings of heaviness, muscle stiffness, neck and back pain, migraines and cramps.
