Question 7802
Under the effects of alcohol, reaction time...
- is not affected.
- increases.
- decreases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: increases.
It increases. Alcohol slows down your brain, so you take longer to see a hazard, decide what to do, and move your foot to the brake. Meanwhile, the car keeps moving, and you get closer to the hazard before you start braking, for example, when a pedestrian crosses like the one in the image.
