What is the influence of the speed of driving on the angle of view of a passenger car's driver?

Description

Annex 1 § 1 pt. 2 letter f to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for a driving licence, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws, item 1019 of 14 September 2012).

Explanation

Correct answer: The higher the speed the smaller the angle of view.

As driving speed increases, the driver's angle of vision narrows. This phenomenon is called 'tunnel vision'. The brain focuses on distant points in front of the vehicle, ignoring what is happening on the roadside, which significantly limits the ability to notice hazards.
