Why does alcohol cause so many road collisions?

  1. Slow reflexes and loss of self-control

  2. Mechanical failures

  3. Poor road conditions

  4. Distractions inside the car

The correct answer is: Slow reflexes and loss of self-control

Alcohol affects many parts of the brain that are responsible for controlling our actions and reactions, leading to slower reflexes and impaired decision-making abilities. This can make it difficult for drivers to react quickly to unexpected situations while on the road, increasing the risk of collisions. The other options, such as mechanical failures and poor road conditions, can contribute to road collisions but are not directly caused by alcohol. Distractions inside the car, while dangerous for driving, do not explain why alcohol specifically causes road collisions.
