The statement that Drinking and driving causes 3 out of 10 fatalities in motor vehicle accidents is true
What are the effects of alcohol on driving?
The capacity to evaluate distance, speed, and the movement of other cars is impaired by alcohol and other drugs.
One can veer off the road, cross the center line, or go from lane to lane as your impairment gets worse.Alcohol impairs motor coordination and dulls attention. When driving after drinking, one's ability to respond swiftly is compromised. Their vision is impacted; it could appear doubled or hazy. Drinking impairs depth perception, making it difficult to judge an object's distance from other cars, pedestrians, or other objects. Alcohol-impaired drivers caused 11,654 fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2020, making up 30% of all traffic-related fatalities in the United States.
