Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: To determine safety distances and driving speed and to reduce response times.
A helmet with a wide field of vision lets the motorcyclist see what is happening at the sides without turning their head too much. This makes it easier to spot dangers early, set suitable safety distances, adjust driving speed and shorten response time. A helmet does not make up for poor eyesight.
