Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, the first symptoms of drowsiness already affect driving.
Yes. You do not have to fall asleep to crash. From the first signs of drowsiness, you already react later, get distracted more easily, and make worse decisions. That is enough to make you drift out of your lane or hit the vehicle ahead. It can happen at night or during the day.
