It may seem obvious but for the safety of others and yourself, sometimes the obvious should be stated. At .08%, the legal limit in Wisconsin, the muscle coordination becomes poor leading to difficulty with balance, speech, vision, reaction time and hearing. It is more difficult to detect danger and a driver’s judgment, self-control, reasoning and memory are impaired. All of this leads to poor concentration, short-term memory loss, speed control, difficulty processing information and impaired perception to a driver under the influence at .08%.
Of course, the more alcohol that is in your system the more diffulties you will encounter in driving safely. However, even at .02% there is a decline in visual functions and a decline in the driver’s ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time.
