true and your judgement.
It depends. Any substance, such as alcohol or drugs, prescription or otherwise, that influence/impair your driving can violate state laws. The idea is that if you are not safe to drive you should not be driving. It's an issue of public safety. If you have something in your system that COULD impair your driving, then the next step is to determine if it DID impair your driving. A few ounces of beer with a meal would probably not influence/impair your driving. As you increase the concentration you make the influence/impairment more likely. Same with drugs. The short answer, low dose, less likely to impair, high dose, more likely to impair.
Fatigue affects reaction time because it can decrease our overall alertness and impair cognitive processing. When we are fatigued, the brain's ability to quickly interpret and respond to stimuli is compromised, leading to slower reaction times. Additionally, fatigue can also slow down physical movements, further contributing to delays in reaction times.
