Alcohol

The consumption of alcoholic drinks leads to physical and psychological changes which have a seriously detrimental effect on safe driving. The effects include:

• False sense of self-confidence.
• Changes in reaction speeds.
• Impairment of reaction capability.
• Reduced concentration.
• Psychomotor alterations and disturbances.
• Failures of perception.

If you go out at night and drink remember you can always use public transport. If you're with a group of friends, a good plan is to designate a driver who doesn't drink.
