Alcohol reduces the driver's ability to judge the situation correctly and slows down reflexes. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect visual perception and coordination. In Spain, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l for drivers in general and 0.3 g/l for professional drivers. However, the risk of an accident increases even at lower levels. Studies show that at 0.2-0.3 g/l the driver concentrates less and their ability to react to the unexpected decreases.
