- Yes.
- No, it is only a matter of experience.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. The faster you go, the less time you have to react, the narrower your useful field of vision becomes, and the harder it is to anticipate what's ahead. Driving at high speed for a long time also tires you out sooner. Experience helps, but it doesn't prevent these effects.
