- Yes.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes.
Yes. Repeated sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion take your attention away from driving. At 120 km/h, a sneeze can mean traveling between 60 and 100 meters without control of the car. Following your treatment reduces the risk, but symptoms can distract you as long as you have them, and some antihistamines cause drowsiness.
