Car permit · Alcohol and drugs
What is the result of using drugs and alcohol together before you drive?
Correct answer: A greater chance of causing a crash.
Answer options
- AA smaller effect of the alcohol on your driving
- BThe same level of danger as alcohol alone
- CA greater chance of causing a crash Correct
Why
Each substance impairs your driving on its own, and combining them stacks those effects. That mix is riskier than alcohol by itself and makes a crash more likely.
