BDifficulty 2/5

Can driving under the influence of alcohol affect the risk of having an accident, even when you are below the legal blood alcohol limit?

Correct answer

Yes, it can increase risk even below the legal limit.

Yes. Alcohol can impair attention, reaction and risk perception even below the legal limit. Effects vary with several factors; feeling well does not establish that driving is safe. The preventive choice is not to drink if you will drive. Being below the limit does not remove alcohol-related risk or allow other fitness conditions to be ignored.
