Drunk driving is one of the main causes of fatal traffic accidents and its effect on driving behavior is one of the most heated research debates. The driving environment such as emergency parking belts, sharp curves and obstacle zones on a freeway were simulated by a driving simulator. The driving behavior was monitored during the experiment. The drivers' performances were compared in their different drinking states under the same conditions. The data of alcohol-impaired driving and safe driving behaviors show that the alcohol-influenced driving performance (steering wheel, accelerator, brake and the clutch in the same scene) is obviously different from non-drinking performance. The study concludes that drinking significantly affects driving performance and this data has practical value for researchers studying drunk driving behavior patterns.
