Car permit · Alcohol and drugs
When you drink at social gatherings, which plan does the most to keep your trip home safe?
Correct answer: Ask a friend who stayed sober to do the driving.
Answer options
- AHave a cup of strong coffee before you get behind the wheel.
- BStop drinking 30 minutes before you get behind the wheel.
- CAsk a friend who stayed sober to do the driving. Correct
Why
Letting a sober friend drive keeps an impaired driver off the road. Coffee or a cold shower cannot remove alcohol from your blood, and the body needs about an hour to process each drink, so a 30-minute pause is not enough.
