Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the driver tends to be overconfident.
Under the influence of alcohol, drivers tend to be overconfident. They overestimate their abilities and take more risks, like the young man in the picture, who is heading toward the car with his keys and a beer while his friend tries to stop him. Attention also gets worse, and the field of vision narrows.
