Which of the following is NOT a consequence of driving under the influence?

  1. Increased risk of accidents

  2. Increased awareness of surroundings

  3. Legal penalties

  4. Health risks

The correct answer is: Increased awareness of surroundings

Driving under the influence (DUI) significantly impairs a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. Among the serious consequences is the increased risk of accidents, as intoxication reduces motor skills, judgment, and reaction times. Legal penalties associated with DUI can include fines, license suspension, and even jail time, reflecting the serious nature of this offense. Additionally, health risks are associated with DUI, not only because of the potential for injury from accidents but also due to the long-term effects of substance abuse. In contrast, increased awareness of surroundings contradicts the effects of alcohol or drugs, which typically lead to diminished cognitive and situational awareness. Thus, this choice correctly identifies a statement that does not align with the well-documented consequences of driving under the influence.
