Question 1790 in the bank

Is there a connection between the driver’s judgment and the use of drugs and alcohol?

  1. Alcohol undermines the driver’s judgment, unlike drugs.
  2. They both have no impact on the driver’s judgment.
  3. Drugs undermine the driver’s judgment, unlike alcohol.
  4. Correct answer: They both impair the driver’s judgment.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: They both impair the driver’s judgment.

Alcohol and drugs both impair the driver's judgment. A driver who has used either one assesses the situation on the road less accurately, and sometimes takes risks they would not take when sober. The exact effects differ from substance to substance, but the impairment of judgment is common to both.
