Euphoria:  the driver takes unusual risks, weak modification of the vision, the angle of view shrinks.

Between 0.5 and 0.8 g/l in the blood

From 0.8 g/l in the blood

It’s very hard for the driver to take good decisions and to fit his driving to circumstances. At this level, coordination and synchronization of movements become uncontrollable.

Fatal accident risk increased by:

2 with 0.5 gr/l in the blood- 10 with 0.8 gr/l- 35 with 1.2 gr/l- 80 with 2gr/l
