What effect does driving at high speeds have on the driver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Driving at higher speeds forces the brain to process a larger amount of information in less time. This requires maintaining a much higher level of attention and concentration than usual. This increase in mental effort and tension causes fatigue to set in much sooner. Furthermore, it is important to remember that speed reduces the field of vision (tunnel vision), which decreases the ability to anticipate hazards, contrary to what the incorrect answers suggest.
