Question 4011
If a driver is taking medication for a medical treatment, they must know that...
- driving is prohibited for the duration of the treatment.
- medications prescribed by a doctor do not affect the ability to drive.
- some medications negatively affect attention and reaction time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: some medications negatively affect attention and reaction time.
Some medications, including those prescribed by a doctor, reduce your attention and increase your reaction time. But being on treatment doesn't mean you have to stop driving, except in extreme cases. Read the package insert, ask your doctor whether it affects you, and don't drive if you notice drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision.
