DGT rules in English

Drink driving and driver condition rules in Spain

These rules identify when a question is really about impairment, fatigue, or distraction.

Alcohol questions reward zero-risk thinking

Any alcohol worsens your driving. The only safe amount is none.

Watch for: The question mentions alcohol, drink-driving, or blood or breath alcohol.

→

Alcohol effects depend on body and timing

The same amount of alcohol can affect different people very differently.

Watch for: The question asks why two people react differently to the same amount of alcohol.

→

Drugs and medicines are impairment cues

Any drug or medicine that affects your concentration or reactions is a driving risk — even if it is prescribed.

Watch for: The question mentions medication, drugs, side effects, or a medicine leaflet.

→

Fatigue gets worse before you admit it

Tiredness slows your reactions and affects your judgement. The only fix is rest.

Watch for: The question mentions tiredness, sleep, long trips, night driving, or microsleeps.

→

Distraction steals distance

Any distraction — phone, food, or just thinking about something else — uses up the distance you need to react.

Watch for: The question mentions a phone, GPS, eating, or looking away while driving.
