Question 4068
When suffering from depression, before getting behind the wheel it is advisable to...
- consult a specialist.
- take tranquilizers for a few days.
- drink an alcoholic beverage to calm down.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: consult a specialist.
If you have depression, consult a specialist before driving. They will assess whether you can drive and what precautions you need to take. Drinking alcohol to calm down or taking tranquilizers on your own increases the risk of a crash, because both cause drowsiness and slow your reactions.
