- Yes, it decreases it.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, it increases it.
Yes, it increases it. When you're fatigued, you take longer to notice what's happening, make a decision, and, with your muscles stiffer, operate the controls. During that extra time, the car keeps moving, so you travel more meters before you start braking.
