# Drugs of Abuse and Traffic Accidents
**Correct answer:** Yes, drugs seriously alter the abilities needed to drive.
Drugs of abuse directly affect concentration, reflexes, coordination and decision-making ability, all of which are essential for safe driving. These substances significantly increase the risk of accidents, regardless of whether they are mixed with alcohol or other substances. Therefore, driving under the influence of any drug is illegal and extremely dangerous.
