How does LSD affect driving?

Why this is the correct answer

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) is a very powerful hallucinogenic drug, classified as a "disruptive/perturbatory" substance. Unlike depressant drugs (which cause drowsiness) or stimulant drugs (which cause overconfidence), LSD profoundly alters brain function, causing: strong visual and auditory hallucinations, severe emotional disturbances (anxiety, panic, even aggression), distorted perception of space, time and speed, loss of motor coordination, and impaired decision-making. Its effects typically last 10–12 hours and it can also cause "flashbacks" — sudden re-experiences of hallucinations days or weeks after consumption. Option A is incorrect because overestimation of abilities is mainly associated with stimulant drugs like cocaine. Option B is incorrect because fatigue and drowsiness are effects of depressant drugs (e.g. alcohol, opioids). Option C is correct: the defining danger of LSD for driving is hallucinations and emotional disturbances.
