HOW DOES ALCOHOL AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE?
Judgement - Alcohol impairs the part of your brain that is responsible for decision making and judgement. Vision - Alcohol can cause a your vision to be blurry or to double. Alcohol impairs all driver's vision when your Blood Alcohol Concentration is as low as .02. Reaction Time - When you drink alcohol impairment reduces your reaction time making you more drowsy and less aware to your surroundings. Color Distinction - Alcohol reduces your ability to distinguish different colors, including roadway signs and lights. These are just a few ways that alcohol can severely affect your ability to drive. Drinking and driving not only puts yourself in danger but everyone else that is on the roads with you. If you drink, just don't drive, help us save lives by planning a sober ride. It's no secret that alcohol affects a person's ability to drive but do you know how? Alcohol affects the senses that you use while you are driving.
