Impaired driving refers to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances that affect mental faculties and physical abilities. This can lead to poor decision-making, slowed reaction times, impaired judgment, and reduced coordination, all of which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries on the road. Impaired driving is a serious offense in many countries and states, with legal consequences that may include fines, license suspension or revocation, and even imprisonment for repeat offenders.
