Question 5953
A driver who is taking medication must know...
- that driving is completely prohibited while taking any medication.
- that medications prescribed by a doctor do not affect the ability to drive.
- that some medications negatively affect attention and reaction time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: that some medications negatively affect attention and reaction time.
Some medications, whether prescribed or not, reduce your attention and make you take longer to react. This doesn't mean you're prohibited from driving whenever you take any medication. Read the medication leaflet or ask your doctor or pharmacist.
