Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
After drinking, someone can still walk steadily and says this proves they are fit to drive. What is wrong with that conclusion?
Correct answer: Alcohol can affect judgment and decisions before physical signs appear.
Why
Do not use the absence of staggering or slurred speech as proof that driving is safe. Alcohol affects the brain functions used to recognize hazards, predict what will happen and make decisions. The drinker may not notice these early changes. Physical self-tests and increased confidence do not establish fitness to drive.
