Question 4167
A driver who has used cocaine will be...
- unsafe, since the driver does not correctly assess their abilities behind the wheel.
- competitive and impulsive.
- very relaxed, since it lowers their ability to concentrate.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: competitive and impulsive.
Cocaine is a strong stimulant. It lowers inhibitions and causes euphoria, and drivers become competitive and impulsive. Far from feeling unsure of themselves, they overestimate their abilities and become overconfident.
