Why does alcohol impairment increase the danger when a hazard appears suddenly?
Correct answer: It slows noticing and reacting, so the car goes farther before you act
Why
Alcohol can impair attention, judgement, coordination and reaction time. During a delayed response, the vehicle keeps moving toward the hazard. Good tires or brakes cannot remove that delay; do not drive impaired.
