Can the driver's reaction distance increase if they have consumed alcohol?

Correct answer

Yes, because reaction time increases.

When we consume alcohol and subsequently get behind the wheel of a vehicle, we may experience various side effects, such as an increase in the driver's reaction time when a possible obstacle appears on the road and greater slowness when making decisions.
