Beware of narcotic substances and alcohol

The consumption of alcohol and narcotics severely impairs the driver's performance, since it affects cerebral functions such as perception, attention, mental elaboration, etc. Drivers whose concentration of alcohol in blood exceeds the limits are punished by both criminal (arrest and fine) and administrative sanctions (driving disqualification).
