“Alcohol slows down the driver’s ability to respond”: Correct or incorrect?
- Correct answer: Correct.
- Incorrect. There is no connection between the drinking alcohol and the driver’s ability to respond.
- Incorrect. Alcohol improves the ability to concentrate.
- Incorrect. Alcohol improves your mood.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Correct.
Correct: alcohol depresses the nervous system and lengthens reaction time, so the driver notices danger and brakes later. It also weakens concentration, judgement and vision. Feeling in a good mood or more confident after drinking is misleading and can even encourage risky driving. That is why you should not drink alcohol before driving.
