FACT: An estimated 32% of fatal car crashes involve an intoxicated driver or pedestrian.
Drinking alcohol and driving simply do not go together. The human brain has to deal with many things and process countless data all the time. Alcohol affects attentiveness and one’s ability to make quick decisions on the road, react to changes in the environment and execute specific, often difficult maneuvers behind the wheel. When drinking alcohol, driving becomes dangerous – and is potentially lethal!
Despite increased public awareness, drinking and drugged driving continues:
BAC of
0.02:
As the person reaches .02 they begin to experience some loss of judgment,
relaxation and altered mood which results in a decline in visual functions and
ability to perform two tasks at the same time.
BAC of
0.05:
Psychomotor performance is significantly impaired; slower eye movements
occur; visual perception, reaction time and information processing are adversely
affected resulting in reduced coordination, reduced ability to track moving
objects, difficulty steering and reduced response to emergency driving
situations
BAC of
0.08:
Muscle coordination is poor (e.g., balance, speech, vision, reaction time,
and hearing), it is harder to detect danger and judgment, self-control,
reasoning, and memory are impaired resulting in reduced concentration,
short-term memory loss, loss of speed control, reduced information processing
capability (e.g., signal detection, visual search) and impaired perception.
