Does tiredness or fatigue negatively affect the ability of the person driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Fatigue or tiredness is one of the most decisive risk factors in road safety. It markedly reduces the driver's psychophysical performance, which translates into an increase in reaction time (it takes longer to perceive danger and to act on the vehicle's controls) and a significant loss of attention and concentration. Saying that physical condition does not interfere with driving, or that the tired driver is more prudent, is incorrect: fatigue alters decision-making, visual acuity and the precision of movements, and the tired driver does not compensate for that state by being more cautious, but makes more mistakes and assesses risk situations worse.
