- drowsiness takes longer to appear.
- the driver becomes distracted more easily.
- the driver stays more focused.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the driver becomes distracted more easily.
On a monotonous road with little traffic, like the long straight stretch in the image, you hardly make any maneuvers and driving becomes routine. Your attention gradually drops without you noticing, and you become distracted more easily. The less that happens around you, the harder it is to stay focused.
