Explanation:

Analyze the effects of driving under the influence

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs severely impairs cognitive functions, reaction times, and motor coordination. This impairment directly leads to a significantly higher probability of severe traffic accidents.

Evaluate the given options

• "are not committing a crime unless your BAL is .08 or higher": Incorrect. Driving impaired is illegal regardless of the specific Blood Alcohol Level (BAL), and lower limits apply to commercial or underage drivers.
• "will have to pay double the fine if you're ticketed for speeding": Incorrect. While fines can be enhanced, this is not a general rule for driving under the influence.
• "are less likely to be injured in a collision": Incorrect. Impaired drivers and their passengers are at a much higher risk of severe injury or death.
• "increase the risk killing yourself or another person": Correct. Impairment directly increases the likelihood of fatal collisions.

• (B) will have to pay double the fine if you're ticketed for speeding
