Can poor road conditions contribute to the onset of driver fatigue?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, the poor condition of the roadway is an external risk factor that speeds up the onset of fatigue. Driving on roads with potholes, cracks, or an uneven surface makes driving more uncomfortable and transmits constant vibrations to the driver. This requires processing more information and maintaining greater muscular and mental tension to control the vehicle, which wears down the driver's energy more quickly, regardless of their level of experience.
