What effect does the tunnel effect caused by speed have on the driver?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
When driving at **high speed**, a phenomenon called the **tunnel effect** occurs. This effect reduces your vision capacity, allowing you to see clearly only what is **directly in front of you**, as if you were looking through a tunnel. This means you lose the ability to clearly perceive what is happening on the sides of the road.
The tunnel effect is dangerous because it limits your field of vision and can hinder your ability to react to unforeseen situations on the road. Therefore, it is important to moderate your speed to maintain a wide and clear view of everything happening around you while driving.
