Hazard awareness
You drank heavily last night. Why might you still be unsafe to drive the next morning?
- Alcohol makes you a more careful driver the next day
- Alcohol can stay in your body and you may still be over the limitCorrect
- A cup of coffee removes all the alcohol
- You are only unsafe if you feel drunk
Why?
Rule 95 of The Highway Code warns that alcohol can remain in your body for many hours, so the morning after drinking you may still be over the legal limit and unfit to drive. Coffee or a shower does not remove it.
