What can result from driving for a long time at high speed?

Driving at high speeds for prolonged periods can impair a driver's skills and judgment. Losing the "feel" for speed (choice 1) can lead to a situation where a driver does not recognize how fast they are actually going, making it hard to react appropriately to changes in traffic conditions. Additionally, driving too closely to vehicles in front (choice 2) is a common risk when drivers misjudge their speed and the distance needed for safe stopping. This practice can lead to rear-end collisions, a significant concern in road safety and regulated by German traffic laws, which emphasize maintaining safe distances between vehicles to prevent accidents.

Understanding these factors is vital for safe driving and compliance with regulations designed to protect all road users. Recognizing and addressing these risks can help maintain road safety and prevent accidents.
