Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, it reduces it.
Yes, it reduces it. Anticipating means foreseeing a danger and acting before it becomes urgent. At higher speeds, you reach each situation sooner, you're closer when you notice it, and you have less time to make sense of it. Speed reduces both your ability to anticipate and your ability to react.
