Question 4588
When I take medications that affect the nervous system, what must I do to drive?
- Nothing, because they improve my abilities.
- Consult a doctor and follow their instructions.
- I must not drive until two hours after taking them.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Consult a doctor and follow their instructions.
Medications that act on the nervous system, such as tranquilizers or antidepressants, can affect your driving the most. Consult your doctor before driving and follow their instructions and those in the package insert. There is no fixed two-hour waiting period after which driving is safe, and these medications don't improve your abilities.
