Fitness, distraction and impairmentStandalone practice
Why is an alcohol- or drug-impaired driver especially dangerous?
Correct answer: It can cause mental confusion and slow your reaction times
Why
Alcohol and impairing drugs can reduce attention, judgment, coordination and reaction speed. Driving depends on these abilities together, so a familiar route or extra effort does not make impaired driving safe.
