Question 6572
If you take narcotics or psychotropic substances that alter your mental state, are you allowed to drive a vehicle?
- Yes, these substances do not affect the ability to drive.
- No, because it is not a mental state in which you can drive without creating danger.
- Only on short trips and when there is no alternative driver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because it is not a mental state in which you can drive without creating danger.
No. A substance that alters your physical or mental state prevents you from driving without creating danger, and the law prohibits driving any vehicle under its influence. There is no exception for short trips or for not having another driver available.
