Effect of alcohol use on accelerating and braking behaviors of drivers.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study revealed that drivers tend to be more aggressive and impulsive under the influence of alcohol, which deteriorates their driving performance. Impairment in accelerating and braking behaviors of drivers under the influence of alcohol leads to increased crash probabilities. The conclusions may provide reference in making countermeasures against drinking and driving and contribute to traffic safety. PMID: 31039040 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
