Correct answer
Yes, because it takes longer to react.
Driving a vehicle while tired or fatigued can cause dangerous side effects in the driver that may lead to a road traffic accident. This is because the driver's physical mobility decreases and their reaction time increases, taking longer to react to a possible obstacle, and microsleeps may occur that cause them to drift off course.
