BDifficulty 2/5

Is alcohol an important crash-risk factor even for an experienced driver or someone accustomed to drinking?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. It affects perception, attention, reaction time and risk assessment; experience does not neutralise those effects. The DGT identifies it among the main contributing factors in crashes. A crash can combine several factors, so alcohol’s presence does not establish that it was the sole cause. Avoid drinking if you will drive and adapt speed to conditions while obeying limits.
