Question 7856
Depression is a serious illness that is suffered more and more frequently. If you suffer from it, you should know that...
- you must not drive until at least one hour has passed after taking your medication.
- if you do not take medication, it has no effects on driving.
- information about the surroundings is lost and the driver may take longer to detect important events.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: information about the surroundings is lost and the driver may take longer to detect important events.
With depression, you focus on your thoughts and pay less attention to checking what is happening around you. As a result, you may take longer to notice a sign or a pedestrian, especially in complex traffic situations. This happens even if you do not take medication.
