Question 7828
Should a person with a chronic illness avoid driving?
- Yes, always.
- Yes, during a flare-up or in the acute phase of the illness.
- No, because medication reduces the risk of having an accident.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, during a flare-up or in the acute phase of the illness.
You can drive with a well-controlled chronic illness, but not during a flare-up or the acute phase, when symptoms are more severe. Medication does not eliminate the risk, and sometimes it has side effects of its own.
