Correct answer
reduced perception of risk.
One of the effects alcohol has on a driver is a reduced perception of risk. When a person has consumed alcohol, they tend to feel falsely confident and take more risks than they would when sober. This results in less cautious behaviour and a greater tendency to commit offences and respond impulsively, aggressively or discourteously to other drivers. Reduced risk perception is dangerous, as it may lead to riskier driving situations and increase the likelihood of road accidents.
