Correct answer
Yes, in general they are more sensitive.
Yes. The DGT identifies people over 65, as well as under 18, as groups more sensitive to its effects on the abilities needed for driving. Individual responses depend on several factors and possible medicine interactions. This does not mean all older people are reckless or establish a different legal limit merely for being over 65. The recommendation for driving is to consume no alcohol.
