- No.
- Yes, but only at night due to the lack of light.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, the first symptoms of drowsiness already affect driving.
Yes. Drowsiness starts long before you fall asleep, and your driving gets worse from the very first signs. You react late, struggle to pay attention, and make poorer decisions. It's not a matter of light, because many crashes caused by drowsiness also happen during the day.
