- Yes, the higher the speed, the greater the ability to anticipate.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, the higher the speed, the lower the ability to anticipate.
Yes. At higher speeds, you reach each danger sooner and you're closer when you notice it, so you have less time to understand what's happening and respond. Your ability to anticipate decreases, and so does your ability to respond.
