Is a vehicle travelling at high speed more difficult for other road users to notice?
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes. A vehicle travelling at high speed can be harder to notice, because other road users may misjudge its distance and how soon it will arrive. This comes from the limits of human perception: a fast approaching object is harder to spot, especially at junctions and when joining traffic.
