i think an enterprising, forward-thinking, reasonable person could figure out how to practice.

real catch22

I’m driving

yea. don’t drive fast.

Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn’t enough. You don’t have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

good tip. keep em coming

I’m glad you keep the roads so safe… for me

I guess we all have different risk assessment

knowing the road let’s you know the likelihood a pedestrian it deer will be there

all things being equal, is say they are marginally safer. practice can reduce that margin.

would you rather be the designated driver leaving a bar at 2am knowing you’re in a society that frowns upon drunk driving, but maybe people are well practiced at it, or knowing your in a society that punishes it drastically, so only the most desperate people attempt it?

with all conditions being the same, a sober driver is safer. that’s easy to conceed. driving is an inherently dangerous activity, and drinking and driving can cause a marginal difference. it’s not night and day, and the risk can be reduced with practice.

lack motor skills and impaired brain

can be compensated with basic safe driving. be alert at intersections, give any cars in front of you a three second lead, etc.

and like… knowing the roads you’re driving will make all this safer, especially if you’ve practiced

drinking and driving isn’t inherently more dangerous than just driving, and it’s a skill you can practice.
