Does driving with a blood alcohol level below the permitted limit affect the possibility of having an accident?

Correct answer

Yes.

Driving with a blood alcohol level below the permitted limit can still affect the possibility of having an accident. Blood alcohol level indicates the amount of alcohol in the blood or exhaled air, and even when below the legal limits, it can still affect driving ability. Even small amounts of alcohol can reduce reflexes, impair judgement and reduce reaction ability, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, the only truly safe level is 0.0 g/l. In addition, drivers with little driving experience may be even more susceptible to alcohol's effects, which is why a lower blood alcohol limit applies to them.
