Take a Drive

So… think having a drink doesn’t affect your judgement or reaction time. Think you can drive just as well with a couple of beers in you?

Don’t be so sure.

See how little it takes to be an impaired driver. Test your reaction time with our Impairment Demo.

Instructions:

  1. Use the spacebar to accelerate
  2. Use the Left Arrow key to turn left.
  3. Use the Right Arrow key to turn right.
  4. Use the “Blood Alcohol Count” slider to adjust the car’s sensitivity. The higher it is set, the more difficult it is to control and stop the car.
  5. Watch out for poles, trees, veering off the road, running stop signs and driving in the left lane for extended periods.

Please note that the Take a Drive impairment demo requires the Flash plugin. The Take a Drive impairment demo has been made as accessible as possible within the constraints of the format.
