Correct answer
increases distractions at the wheel.
Consuming alcohol while driving significantly increases the distractions experienced by the driver. This means that drivers under the influence of alcohol have more difficulty maintaining attention on the road and focusing on the task of driving safely. Distractions can come from various factors, such as the driver's own behaviour, altered perception of the environment, increased reaction time, and errors in decision-making. Drivers under the effects of alcohol often become less prudent and more prone to committing offences, which further increases the risk of distractions and accidents.
