  3. No, if it is part of a medical treatment.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. Driving with amphetamines in your system is prohibited. They are powerful stimulants. They mask tiredness, make you overconfident, and make drivers impatient and impulsive. The law only exempts medications prescribed by a doctor for treatment, and even then, only if you are fit to drive carefully and without distractions.
