Abstract

This study compares the alcohol induced changes in binocular vision and the driver's ability to correctly identify road signs in a dynamic visual situation. The test involves timing of the driver's response to zoomed presentations of directional road signs. Results show a wide variation before and after imbibing alcohol.
