Question 4354
Alcohol consumption produces in the driver...
- an increase in reaction time.
- a decrease in reaction time.
- an increase in the field of vision.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: an increase in reaction time.
Alcohol slows your brain down. You take longer to decide what to do when faced with danger, and your movements become slower, so your reaction time increases. Meanwhile, the vehicle keeps moving, and you travel farther before stopping. Your field of vision does not widen either; it narrows.
