Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

The correct answer is 'Yes'. Under the General Traffic Regulations, drivers may not exceed certain blood alcohol limits. Drinking often affects reaction and judgement, and greatly increases the risk of having an accident. Alcohol dependence and its negative effects are considered factors that alter the driver's physical and mental abilities, which leads to more accidents. This shows how important it is to be sober when driving to prevent crashes.
