Any amount of alcohol in the blood may affect a driver's:

  1. Right-of-way privileges.
  2. Judgment and physical coordination. ✓
  3. Knowledge.

Answer: B. Judgment and physical coordination.

Any amount of alcohol in the blood may affect a driver's judgment and physical coordination.

Why this is the answer

The handbook treats alcohol as something that changes your ability to drive safely and to react to what you see and hear, and it says the DUI laws cover alcohol and any drug that affects safe driving. In the driver-condition checklist used after a stop or collision, officers record both alcohol or drug use and problems like difficulty walking or weakness and coordination problems. That pairing is why the bank answer points to judgment and physical coordination rather than to a privilege or to knowledge.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Think of alcohol as something that sits between your brain and your hands and feet, not something that rewrites the rules of the road.
