What behavioural changes can alcohol cause in a driver?

Correct answer

Impulsive and aggressive responses towards other drivers.

Drinking alcohol can cause significant changes in a driver's behaviour. One of the most common effects is the appearance of impulsive and aggressive responses towards other drivers. When a person has consumed alcohol, they may experience a false sense of self-confidence and be willing to take more risks than usual. This can show up as reckless behaviour on the road, such as dangerous overtaking, speeding, abrupt lane changes or aggressive reactions towards other drivers.
