Does consumption of alcohol by a driver impair the ability to correctly assess risks on the road when driving a quadricycle?
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Alcohol, as a psychoactive substance, has a negative effect on the central nervous system, impairing the driver's key psychomotor functions. This causes slowed reactions, reduced concentration, and distorted perception, which in turn makes it impossible to correctly assess risk and make safe decisions on the road.
