Question 5226
If alcohol is consumed, when does the risk of an accident increase?
- The risk does not depend on the amount consumed.
- Before the legal limit is exceeded.
- When the legal blood alcohol limit has been exceeded.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Before the legal limit is exceeded.
The risk rises before you exceed the legal limit. At 0.15 to 0.20 g/l in blood, abilities you need for driving already start to fail, and the more alcohol there is, the greater the risk. The limit determines what is penalized; there is already a risk below it.
