What direct consequence does traveling at a higher speed have?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Inappropriate or excessive speed is one of the most decisive factors in road accidents. As speed increases, the driver covers many more meters during the reaction time before starting to brake, the field of vision narrows markedly (tunnel effect) and the stopping distance and the severity of injuries in an impact increase quadratically. That is why the risk of an accident increases significantly. Saying that reaction capacity improves is false: speed does not improve the driver's abilities, but makes perception and decision-making more difficult. Claiming that the risk of breakdown is reduced is also false, because at higher speed the components of the moped withstand greater thermal and mechanical stress.
