Question 5316

In general, on what type of roads do accidents caused by fatigue or drowsiness most often occur?

  1. On freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
  2. On urban roads.
  3. On roads with a winding layout.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).

Crashes caused by drowsiness or fatigue happen mainly on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías). Their long straight stretches, gentle curves, and lack of intersections make driving monotonous, and attention drops. On a winding road or in urban areas, you drive more actively, which keeps you alert.
