In what way does the speed of the car affect the field of vision?
aThe field of vision decreases along with an increase in speed.
bThe field of vision increases along with an increase in speed.
cIt has no influence.
Why?
As speed increases, the driver's effective field of view narrows because attention becomes more focused on the road ahead. The photo shows a pedestrian crossing and several lanes, making observation of the roadsides important too. Answers B and C are incorrect because higher speed makes the surroundings harder to notice, rather than widening the field of view or leaving it unchanged.
