Correct answer

  • BSí, hace que el conductor reaccione con más lentitud.Yes, it makes the rider react more slowly.
Explanation

Drinking alcoholic beer can affect riding a motorcycle because the alcohol in beer has a negative effect on the rider. Alcohol causes a false state of euphoria, increases reaction time and narrows the field of vision. It also makes the rider judge distances and speeds wrongly, which increases the risk of accidents. So it is important to avoid drinking alcohol before driving any type of vehicle, including motorcycles.
