Why is driving after drinking especially dangerous at night?
- A.Roads are always empty, so speed increases
- B.Police do not patrol at night
- C.Alcohol narrows and blurs vision and slows reactions, while darkness already limits what you can see
- D.Headlights cancel out alcohol's effects
Correct answer
C. Alcohol narrows and blurs vision and slows reactions, while darkness already limits what you can see
Why
Alcohol impairs vision and reaction time, and darkness reduces visibility for everyone. Together they leave an impaired driver far less able to spot and avoid hazards.
