What does alcohol consumption produce in a driver?
A)Decreased reaction time (= acts faster).
B)Increased visual field (= sees better).
C)Increased reaction time (= acts more slowly).Correct
The time that elapses from when the driver sees an obstacle to when they react is the reaction time. This time varies depending on the driver's psychophysical state, never due to speed, the condition of the vehicle, or the condition of the road.
Fatigue, alcohol, medication, drugs... all cause this time to increase.
The reaction distance is the number of metres the vehicle travels during the reaction time, and it increases due to the driver's psychophysical state and speed (the higher the speed, the more metres the vehicle will travel).
