The three most critical skills necessary for a good, safe driver are judgment, vision and reaction. Alcohol depresses all three. Alcohol may have a different effect each time a driver drinks depending on whether the individual has eaten, what they have eaten, mood, metabolism and the level of fatigue. Even small quantities of alcohol will affect driving ability such as..
Poor judgment - You could have trouble judging both your speed and that of other vehicles. You may also have problems judging distances.
Impaired vision - After drinking alcohol, drivers tend to focus on the road straight ahead and avoid what is happening in their side vision.
Poor coordination - You may have trouble doing more than one thing at a time, especially in an emergency.
False sense of confidence- After drinking alcohol, you may feel more confident. But in fact, you will be less able to cope with unexpected events.
