Laboratory studies of the effects of alcohol on some variables related to driving.

摘要: Laboratory studies were reviewed of alcohol influence on three essential driver performance areas: vision, tracking, and division attention. When examined by isolating a specific function, most visual in tracking failed to find an appreciable decrement due alcohol. However, when these same art functions component task within more complex requirement for joint several functions, large decrements occurred at low blood levels. It was concluded that affects the ability process quantities information. arrived than one source, simultaneously, as is typical requirements driving. The conclusion supported additional evidence demonstrating alcohol-induced attention tasks requiring rapid processing Drug dose demonstrated significant impairment 0.02% BAC, with nearly all subjects exhibiting effects 0.03%.
