Question 5597

Driving for a long time at a high speed causes...

  1. the body to be more tense, delaying the onset of fatigue.
  2. the body to be more tense, speeding up the onset of fatigue.
  3. the body to relax, delaying the onset of fatigue.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the body to be more tense, speeding up the onset of fatigue.

At high speeds, your body becomes more alert. Your pulse and breathing speed up, you sweat more, and your muscles tense up. If that tension lasts a long time, such as on a long trip on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), fatigue sets in sooner. Driving fast doesn't relax you, even if it makes the trip shorter.
