Thus, alcohol affects driving ability

Alcohol is for many people to enjoy a sociable evening. Some drivers underestimate the impact of their alcohol consumption on driving ability. What changes from how much alcohol to occur, you can find here.

0.1 per thousand: from this small amount of alcohol in the blood are distances misjudged.

0.2 to 0.3 per mil: The reaction time is extended, the willingness for risky Driving increases, and the first impaired visual performance occur.

0.5 per Mille: The visual performance is about 15 per cent, reduced, and Hearing impaired. There is a red light on the weakness, through which the driver colors can not recognize with a large amount of red is correct. Red lights or the brake lights ahead moving vehicles are not perceived correctly, or as further away. Drivers also react much slower and estimate speeds incorrectly and risk are ready. The risk to be involved in an accident is twice as high as in the sober condition.

What the law says?

In Germany, the legally admissible maximum limit is when driving at 0.5 ppm. A motorist by dangerous driving, it is striking behaviour, driver error or an accident, he from the limit of 0.3 ppm is punishable by law. From 1.1 per Mille, the legislator speaks of the absolute unfitness to drive. Who is driving in this state, car and stopped, must face criminal proceedings. For drivers of dangerous goods transports, young drivers under the age of 21 years and novice drivers in the two-year sample period, the Null limit of two per thousand.

Alcohol limits apply not only to motorists but also for cyclists. The limit is, however, much more above, namely, at 1.6 per thousand. Stricter rules for E-Scooter riders are: they are based on the limits for motor vehicles, i.e., at 0.5 ppm.

0.8: The ability to concentrate is severely restricted, it can lead to a so-called tunnel view. The reaction time is prolonged by 30 to 50 percent, and balance disorders, disinhibition, and Overestimation occur. The probability of being in an accident, is now four times as high as in the sober condition.

1 ppm: a ppm of alcohol in the blood impairs the spatial vision significantly. Hands added, reaction, balance and orientation disorders. At 1.1 per Mille, the risk for an accident is already ten times as high as in the sober condition.

How high is the amount of alcohol in the blood after a glass of champagne, beer or wine-in fact, without a blood test, only approximately determine. An assessment can provide, for example, the Online BAC calculator, the Federal centre for health education. The experts explicitly point to the fact that alcohol calculators provide only approximate values, which are not suitable for their own driving ability estimate. Factors such as the drinking speed, the contents of the stomach, and the alcohol degradation in the body are not taken into account, with determine the actual blood alcohol concentration. So who wants to be on the safe side, drinks are best not alcohol, if he has to drive the car.
