Correct answer
does not assess its effects, as a general rule.
As a general rule, a driver who has consumed alcohol does not properly assess its effects. This is because alcohol tends to create a false sense of self-confidence, which leads the driver to underestimate the negative impact that alcohol has on their skills and ability to drive. In many cases, drivers under the influence of alcohol take more risks, are less careful, commit more offences, and may respond impulsively, aggressively or rudely towards other drivers. This lack of awareness of the real effects of alcohol on driving ability is dangerous and contributes to the increase in traffic accidents related to alcohol consumption.
