Under what condition should you not drive?

It is crucial to recognize that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs your ability to operate a vehicle safely. Alcohol and certain drugs can affect your judgment, reaction times, coordination, and overall cognitive functioning. This impairment increases the risk of accidents not only for the driver but also for passengers and others on the road. The law expressly prohibits driving under these conditions due to the high likelihood of accidents, injuries, or fatalities.

While feeling energetic is typically not a reason to avoid driving, and driving during peak traffic hours or after eating may pose challenges, they do not inherently compromise a driver's ability to manage a vehicle safely as substance impairment does. Therefore, the emphasis must always be on ensuring that you are sober and completely alert when driving.
