At a BAC of .15, how many times more likely are you to be involved in an accident?

  1. 5 times

  2. 10 times

  3. 15 times

  4. 25 times

The correct answer is: 25 times

At a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15, research indicates that a driver is approximately 25 times more likely to be involved in an accident compared to a sober driver. This significant increase in risk arises from the impairments that alcohol consumption causes, such as reduced attention, slower reaction times, and impaired judgment. At this level of intoxication, the ability to perform essential driving tasks effectively deteriorates, heightening the likelihood of accidents. Understanding this statistic highlights the dangers of driving under the influence and reinforces the importance of responsible drinking and transportation choices.
