Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Your doctor prescribes a pain medicine that is a controlled substance. An hour after the first dose, you feel drowsy and your reactions are slow. You need to drive to work. What does Nevada law say?
Correct answer: Driving is unlawful while you are under the influence of the medicine, even with a prescription.
Why
The handbook warns that medicines and illegal drugs can both weaken your motor skills and slow your thinking and reactions. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how a new medicine can affect your driving, and let someone else drive until you know. The same rule applies to illegal drugs, and it is also unlawful to drive under the combined influence of alcohol and a drug.
