Which of these factors dependent on the vehicle driver has a significant influence on the driver's vision?

Description

Safety in road transport

Explanation

Correct answer: Attention span, current well-being and health.

Both fatigue and alcohol have a very negative impact on a driver's eyesight. Fatigue causes slower eye reactions and difficulties with focus adjustment (accommodation), while alcohol can lead to double vision and so-called 'tunnel vision', which is a significant narrowing of the field of view. Both conditions drastically increase the risk of an accident.
