Explain how marijuana can affect driving ability.
Explain how marijuana can affect a person's driving ability.
* Marijuana users make more driving errors and are arrested more often for traffic violations than non users. Driver tends to focus on one thing at a time and are less aware of their surroundings. Marijuana's greatest impact is on a driver's ability to recognize and respond to dangerous situations.
* Not to make good choices, light headed, dizzy, etc. Users become drowsy and have difficulty judging time and space and speed of movement. Some users reported they concentrate on one object at a time ignoring all other objects. Marijuana is stored in fat cells and is a limited very slowly.

B.) The drugs cancel out each other's effects.
C.) The first drug taken will be the only drug that has any effect on you.
D.) The last drug taken will be the only drug that has any effect on you.
Get the CORRECT Answer
The combined effect is greater than the sum of the two effects separately.
Define "synergism" and explain its impact on behavior.
A total effect that is greater than the sum of the two effects separately; often used in reference to combining alcohol and other drugs. A beer and another depressant may produce a synergistic effect. Anytime another drug is combined with alcohol, effects may be different from the expected if either drug is taken alone. Synergism occurs when the combined effects of multiple drugs are greater than the sum of their separate effects - increases risk of harmful & unexpected effects.
List and Explain four factors that can affect a drinker's BAC.
Factors that can affect a person's BAC: Any amount will impair- any amount will impair a driving ability
1. Gender - alcohol does not affect men and women equally. Women reach a peak of BAC about 20% higher then men. Research indicates that alcohols effects on females tend to be stronger and last longer.
2. Body weight - your weight affects the percentage of alcohol in your blood. A heavier person has more body fluids with which the alcohol will mix, and thus have a lower BAC
3. Strength of the drink- Stronger the beverage consumed, the higher BAC will rise.
4. Size of Drink - A larger drink will contain more alcohol and result in a higher BAC than a smaller drink of the same alcohol strength
5. Food - Food in stomach does not absorb alcohol, but it can slow the rate at which alcohol is absorbed; but all the alcohol consumed eventually gets into your blood
6. Time spent drinking - Faster the drink is consumed, the more quickly BAC will reach its peak.
List and explain the three ways alcohol is eliminated by the body.
1. Breathing - approximately 8% of alcohol is eliminated by breathing. This is why you might be able to detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage on a drinker's breath
2. Sweat/Perspiring - about 2% of alcohol is eliminated by sweating. It maybe possible to detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage on a drinker's body
3. Oxidation - the majority of alcohol is removed by the liver as it burns up the alcohol through the process of oxidation (90%)
Define "BAC" and explain it's relationship to driving ability.
* BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration, is the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream. Alcohol impairs the central nervous system.
* The greater the BAC, the greater the risk of being involved in a fatal crash.
* Certain levels of BAC are unlawful to drive under Like .01-.02
* Young drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 with a BAC of .02 to .05% are at least seven times more likely to be killed in a crash in a sober driver of any age.
