Question 2754
You should not drink alcohol if you are going to drive because, even in small amounts, alcohol can cause...
- An increase in reaction time and the distance traveled during reaction time.
- An increase in reaction time but not in reaction distance.
- A decrease in reaction time and reaction distance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: An increase in reaction time and the distance traveled during reaction time.
Alcohol can delay a driver's response. At the same speed, this longer reaction time causes the vehicle to travel farther before braking begins.
