Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Alcohol is a powerful depressant of the central nervous system that immediately impairs the psychophysical faculties needed to drive. From the lowest doses, it slows the transmission of nerve impulses, which results in an increase in reaction time (the driver takes more seconds to process a stimulus and press the brake). Likewise, it narrows the field of vision, causing the tunnel effect, and reduces the ability to pick up relevant information from the surroundings. On the contrary, it creates a false sense of confidence that makes risks be perceived worse and drastically reduces motor precision, making incorrect the options that claim an improvement in the driver's abilities.
