Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, and it can affect the ability to drive safely.
Yes. Long-lasting stress exhausts your body. It weakens your immune defenses and contributes to heart problems, digestive problems, pain, and sleep disorders. Behind the wheel, you get tired sooner, get distracted more, and make worse decisions.
