A new study reveals that driving when suffering from a cold is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.

Those who sneezed also took their eyes off the road for at least three seconds.
“Having a cold is equivalent to drinking three or four pints and being over the limit. People with a cold had slower reaction times than those associated with drinking. Colds slowed reaction times by 36 milliseconds. Yet consuming the amount of alcohol that would lead to a driving ban slows reactions by just 15 milliseconds”, lead researcher Professor Andy Smith said.
