The Department of Citizen Security wants to improve the controls to comply with the indications of the DGT, which show dramatic effects of alcohol and drugs on driving, with increased reaction time, underestimation of speed, coordination problems, worse distance perception, vision problems, attention and coordination problems and increased drowsiness, among other triggers for fatal accidents.
