Question 7914

When driving a vehicle, as driver fatigue increases, it is normal that...

  1. reaction time also increases.
  2. braking distance decreases.
  3. reaction time decreases.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: reaction time also increases.

The more fatigued you are, the longer it takes you to notice things, decide, and act, so your reaction time increases. Being tired does not shorten your braking distance. In the image, the driver is yawning.
