Question 4505
It is dangerous to drive while drowsy because...
- you drive more slowly.
- the trip takes longer.
- it reduces your ability to react.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: it reduces your ability to react.
Drowsiness reduces your ability to react. You take longer to respond to something unexpected, such as the car ahead braking suddenly, while your vehicle keeps moving. Even a slight delay can be enough to cause a crash, especially at high speed. Driving more slowly or taking longer to arrive is not what makes drowsiness dangerous.
