Page But the ability to drive is affected well below a BAC of 0. Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator.

All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Some people drive in spurts heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking.

Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam on the brakes and continue braking. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.

If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at both rear wheels. Page Steering As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Then you suddenly accelerate. Both control systems acceleration have to do their work where the tires meet the road.

Adding the sudden acceleration can demand too much of those places. You can lose control. What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up on the accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down.
