Question 7854
Does driving while self-medicating pose a risk to driving?
- Yes, because some medications can have side effects.
- No, only if the medications are mixed with alcohol.
- Only if the driving is done at night.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because some medications can have side effects.
Yes. When you self-medicate, you often do not know the side effects of what you are taking or how it interacts with other substances, and some over-the-counter medications cause drowsiness or slow your reflexes. The risk exists day and night, even if you do not drink alcohol.
