Do you know your Safe Driving Limit?

Progressive loss of driving ability is seen as the blood alcohol level rises. The safe driving is interfered because alcohol increases your reaction time, creates a false confidence, impairs concentration, dulls judgment, decreases muscular coordination and decreases visual and auditory acuity.

Safe limits of alcohol concentration

Below 50 mg% concentration of blood alcohol, majority of drivers are not affected, as regards road safety. At 60 mg% the driver of a vehicle is twice as likely to be involved in an accident as compared to a sober driver. Risk of accident begins to increase markedly at 80mg%; by 100mg% risk is 12-fold and at levels of over 150mg% this becomes 25 times more likely.






Apart from alcohol the drugs which affect driving are tranquillizers, opiates, barbiturates, cannabis, hallucinogens, anti-histaminic, anti-depressants and anti-psychotics
