What effects can stress have on a driver?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
**Stress** can negatively affect a driver, especially in their ability to make decisions. When a person is stressed, their **mood** can change, which can lead to a loss of concentration and increase the risk of traffic accidents.
- Stress can cause **fatigue**, whose symptoms include difficulty concentrating, slower movements, and increased irritability. These symptoms directly affect a driver's ability to make quick and effective decisions on the road.
- Additionally, **drowsiness**, which can be related to stress, also contributes to **slower decision-making**. Drowsiness causes the driver to take longer to react and have difficulties in making correct decisions while driving.
