Tests of sensory, perceptual and motor skills were made. Other tests were carried out in a driving simulator for the study of steering performance, a driving simulator for the study of car-following, and in an automobile on the road. Alcohol doses of up to 0.10% BAC were used in these tests. The results showed that there were reductions in the left and right lateral horizontal visual fields of red stimuli; mesopic visual acuity; information processing both in a digit-memory task, and when stimulus response compatibility was decreased in a reaction time test; and a reduction in pursuit tracking ability. The study also indicated that the changes in driving performance at 0.07% BAC during alcohol uptake were less severe than at the same BAC during alcohol elimination, showing residual effects of alcohol and fatigue.
