Question

31
which of the following is true about operating a motor vehicle while consuming alcohol?
a the driver can see better
b the driver is less distracted
c the driver is more alert
d the driver’s reaction time is impaired

Explanation:

When a driver consumes alcohol, it impairs their cognitive and motor functions. Reaction time (the time taken to respond to a stimulus) is negatively affected as alcohol slows down the nervous system. Option A is incorrect because alcohol worsens driving ability. Option B is incorrect as alcohol causes more distraction or impaired focus. Option C is incorrect as alcohol reduces alertness. So, the driver’s reaction time is impaired.

Answer:

D. The driver’s reaction time is impaired
