Understanding Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and Driving

BAC refers to the amount of alcohol (ethanol) present in your bloodstream at the time of testing. Even a single beer or a few shots can elevate your BAC, impacting your driving abilities and increasing the risk of accidents.

Why is BAC Dangerous?

• Impaired Judgment: Alcohol directly affects the nervous system, slowing reaction time, reducing concentration, and hindering sound decision-making while driving.
• Blurred Vision: High BAC levels narrow your field of vision, impair eye adjustment, and increase sensitivity to glare, severely affecting road visibility.
• Reduced Coordination: Driving requires seamless coordination between steering, accelerating, and braking. Alcohol consumption impairs this coordination, increasing the risk of losing control.

Legal Regulations on BAC for Drivers in Vietnam

Vietnam’s Traffic Law strictly prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol. Penalties for exceeding the legal BAC limit vary depending on the vehicle type and BAC level, ranging from substantial fines to driver’s license suspension.

Nguyen Van A, a seasoned truck driver, still shudders when recalling the horrific accident he caused after a night of heavy drinking. “I thought I had only a few drinks and was sober enough to drive home. But…”, he trailed off, his voice choked with emotion. The accident resulted in severe injuries for him, damage to his truck, and property damage to others. “It was a life-altering lesson, and I am deeply remorseful,” he shared.
