ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF INTOXICATION FROM ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES ON DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE

Abstract

Analyzes the negative consequences of drunk driving, psychophysiological conditions of drunk driving and the impact of traffic accidents on drunk driving. This study delves into the multifaceted repercussions of intoxication from alcohol, drugs, and psychotropic substances on the operation of motor vehicles. Through an extensive examination, it scrutinizes the various dimensions of impairment caused by these substances, encompassing cognitive, physiological, and behavioural aspects. The analysis includes an in-depth exploration of the risks posed to road safety, considering the influence of different substances on driving abilities. Additionally, the study investigates prevalent patterns of impairment, highlights existing regulations and interventions, and proposes potential strategies aimed at mitigating the dangers associated with driving under the influence. By amalgamating empirical evidence and existing literature, this comprehensive analysis aims to provide insights crucial for policymakers, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, and the general public in fostering safer road environments.
