Impaired driving - simply means driving while under the influence of drink or drugs (legal or otherwise). Consuming anything that alters your awareness or judgement, before driving on public roads - is a dangerous, ridiculous, selfish act. The consequences of which will either result in the driver losing his licence - or ultimately killing an innocent person !
If you want to live a good, long life, don't do it. Driving whilst impaired by drink, could kill yourself and others. Drink will make you think you can drive better than you really can. Reaction times are longer when impaired by drink.
Impaired driving is illegal. Any activity which impairs the driver's ability to control his vehicle is liable for a charge of impaired driving, ie., the consumption of alcohol, eating a hamburger, drinking a coke, reading a road map, looking at the GPS screen, chatting on a cellphone, twiddling the radio station knob, etc. Any and all of these activities while you are driving is laying the driver open to an impaired driving charge if they are caught.
Yes, it is always illegal to drive while intoxicated, no matter where you are. However, it is rarely illegal to drink and drive unless impaired.
Probably not, if it was a "standard" drink of one beer, one 8 oz. glass of wine or one shot of liquor. The exception might be a very small person, or someone with with impaired liver function. (Of course, they don't usually stop with one.) If you give it an hour, you should be safe as houses.
As long as you are of legal age and are not driving, you won't get a ticket.
That will depend on what you are drinking and how much you weigh. Typically, most people should not have more than 1 drink an hour to stay legal. That does not mean that you are not impaired.
Depends. Statistics differ by country. Generally, the answer is drink driving, because most mental functions are impaired or slowed down. But, again, it depends on country, since different countries have different statistics and laws (ie - It's illegal to drink alcohol completely in the United Arab Emirates).
It affects people very much. When you drink while driving, your brain goes crazy and you just loose your mind. It can also create a big caos. When a drunk driver has an accident because they are impaired they can kill innocent people.
Drink Driving = Drunk Driving
No, not if you've consumed enough to be impaired.
Yes you can drink whilst driving but you can't drink AND drive.
