How can small amounts of alcohol affect your driving?

In New Zealand, the consumption of alcohol while driving is a very serious issue, as even small amounts of alcohol can significantly impair a driver's ability. This is primarily reflected in the following aspects:

1. Distraction of Attention: Even a small amount of alcohol can distract the driver, making it difficult to focus on driving.

2. Impaired Judgment: Alcohol can reduce a driver's judgment, making it harder to make quick and correct decisions.

3. Delayed Reaction Time: Even small amounts of alcohol can prolong a driver's reaction time, which may prevent timely responses in emergency situations, increasing the risk of accidents.

4. Decreased Coordination: Alcohol affects a driver's physical coordination, particularly during tasks that require fine motor skills, such as merging, turning, or parking, which may lead to improper maneuvers.
