Question 7821
Is it safe to drive after taking amphetamines?
- Only if they are taken together with an alcoholic beverage.
- No.
- Yes, because they are relaxing and delay the onset of drowsiness.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Amphetamines are stimulants and do not relax you. They cause overconfidence and make drivers impatient and impulsive. They delay sleepiness and mask tiredness while the body becomes exhausted, and when the effects wear off, an urgent need to sleep sets in. Mixing them with alcohol is even more dangerous.
