What is the influence of the speed of driving on the angle of view of a passenger car's driver?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. The higher the speed the smaller the angle of view.
Explanation
As speed increases, the driver's angle of view becomes smaller - answer B. Answer A claims it grows, and C that speed has no influence - both contradict how eyesight works.
At low speed you see widely, almost 180 degrees, and you notice what is happening on the pavements and at side road entrances. The faster you drive, the further ahead you direct your eyes and the narrower the area you see sharply - at high speed only a narrow tunnel remains, and everything beside it turns into a blurred background. The Road Traffic Act requires you to drive at a speed that allows you to keep control of the vehicle, taking traffic conditions into account. In town you take your foot off the accelerator precisely so that you can see the sides.
