BDifficulty 2/5

An adult driver subject to a positive alcohol limit has consumed alcohol but is below their applicable legal limit. Can they still have a crash?

Correct answer

Yes; being below the limit does not remove the risk.

Yes. Being below the legal limit does not guarantee unimpaired ability or absence of risk. Even small amounts of alcohol may affect attention, perception, coordination and decision-making. The applicable limit depends on the driver; minors have a zero limit. The preventive choice is to consume no alcohol before driving. Crashes can also occur without alcohol because of other factors.
