Correct answer
the negative effects on the ability to drive are intensified.
When we combine alcohol with other drugs, the negative effects on our ability to drive safely are intensified. This is because alcohol and other substances can interact in the body in unpredictable ways, intensifying the sedative, disorientating or stimulant effects they have on the central nervous system. As a result, motor coordination, reaction ability, awareness of the surroundings and other skills necessary for driving can deteriorate significantly. Driving under the influence of a combination of alcohol and drugs considerably increases the risk of traffic accidents, both for the driver and for other road users.
