Is it safe to drive seven hours after drinking?
1 Answers
It is best not to drive seven hours after drinking. Here are some driving precautions: Do not smoke while driving: Smoking not only affects hearing but also impairs the driver's vision. The series of actions involved in smoking can distract the driver, and the braking reaction time is prolonged due to these additional actions. Sometimes, this delay can lead to accidents due to unpreparedness. The smoke generated while smoking not only obstructs visibility but also significantly reduces the driver's visual adaptability, thereby compromising driving safety. Do not use a mobile phone while driving: Looking at a phone while driving reduces the driver's attention. Drivers who use mobile phones while driving are 4 to 5 times more likely to be involved in traffic accidents compared to those who do not. Using a phone while driving slows down the brain's reaction speed even more than driving under the influence of alcohol. The driver's response to road conditions is slower than normal. Additionally, while making a call, driving becomes unstable, making it difficult to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, which can easily lead to accidents.
