Driving for more than two hours a day negatively affects IQ* levels, scientists have warned.
A recent study found that long periods behind the wheel could speed up the effects of age on the brain. This is bad news for aged and middle-aged commuters and occupational drivers. The researchers said that the results could be explained by the fact that the driver’s mind is less active on long journeys.
