Question 4575
One of the effects that some drugs can have on a driver is...
- incorrect perception of time and space.
- a shorter stopping distance.
- a wider field of vision.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: incorrect perception of time and space.
Some drugs, such as cannabis, alter your perception of time and space, so you misjudge distances and speeds. They do not widen your field of vision either; ecstasy, for example, narrows it. And because you react later, your stopping distance increases rather than decreases.
