Alertness
You drank heavily last night and must drive early this morning. How could this affect you?
- The alcohol will have fully gone by morning
- You are safe as long as you feel awake
- A coffee will make you fit to drive
- You may still be over the limit and unfit to driveCorrect
Why?
Alcohol leaves the body slowly, so heavy drinking the night before can leave you over the limit and with poor concentration the next morning. Rule 95 of The Highway Code warns that you may be unfit to drive in the morning after drinking the previous evening.
