Question 7841

Are you allowed to drive if you have taken any medication?

  1. Only if it has been prescribed by a doctor.
  2. Yes, unless it affects your physical or mental state and, therefore, your ability to drive.
  3. No, because of the side effects it may cause.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, unless it affects your physical or mental state and, therefore, your ability to drive.

Yes. Taking medication does not mean you are prohibited from driving. What is prohibited is driving when it affects your physical or mental state to the point that you cannot drive safely, and this can also happen with medication prescribed by your doctor.
