Review article

The article presents the results of investigation of the psychophysiological state of drivers at examinations and investigations of traffic accidents. The analysis results of the reaction time and the volume of visual perception of a driver in the state of intoxication are described. There were experimentally obtained the values of the time of simple reaction of the driver in the working condition and in the state of intoxication (0,3 ‰, 0,5 ‰), and the volume of visual perception of drivers. The influence of various degrees of alcohol intoxication on the reaction time of the driver, affecting the timely technical ability to prevent an accident, has been derived and scientifically substantiated.
