Question 4315
What change does alcohol consumption most frequently cause in a driver's behavior?
- Greater ease in perceiving traffic lights and illuminated signals.
- Impulsive and aggressive responses toward other drivers.
- A decrease in reaction time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Impulsive and aggressive responses toward other drivers.
Alcohol reduces caution and your sense of responsibility. That is why people who have been drinking very often respond impulsively and aggressively to other drivers, like the driver in the image gesturing out the window. They also have more difficulty perceiving traffic lights and light signals, and take longer to react.
