What factors may affect a proper observation of the road while driving a bus at night?

Explanation

Correct answer: Inability to distinguish shapes in the dark and sensitivity to being blinded.

Driving at night, as shown in the picture, is considerably more difficult due to limited visibility. In darkness, the human eye has a reduced ability to distinguish shapes, which makes it more difficult to spot obstacles. Additionally, the intense lights of an oncoming vehicle can temporarily blind the driver, disrupting proper observation of the road and its surroundings.
