But the ability to drive is affected well below a BAC of

0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills of

many people are impaired at a BAC approaching

0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All

drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent.

Statistics show that the chance of being in a collision

increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of

0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC level of

0.06 percent has doubled his or her chance of having a

collision. At a BAC level of 0.10 percent, the chance of

this driver having a collision is 12 times greater; at a level

of 0.15 percent, the chance is 25 times greater!

The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol in

one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold

showers will speed that up. “I will be careful” is not the

right answer. What if there is an emergency, a need to

take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?

A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able to

react quickly enough to avoid the collision.

There is something else about drinking and driving that

many people do not know. Medical research shows that

alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries

worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord or

heart. This means that when anyone who has been

drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that

person’s chance of being killed or permanently disabled

is higher than if the person had not been drinking.

{CAUTION:

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.

Your reﬂexes, perceptions, attentiveness and

judgment can be affected by even a small

amount of alcohol. You can have a serious — or

even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking.

Please do not drink and drive or ride with a

driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a

cab; or if you are with a group, designate a

driver who will not drink.
