- Yes, risk perception decreases.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, risk perception decreases.
Yes, it decreases. Drugs, especially stimulants such as cocaine, make drivers see dangerous situations as normal and believe they are more capable than they really are. Driving at 150 km/h, as the instrument panel in the picture shows, may seem normal to them, even next to a sign setting a speed limit of 120.
