Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
At 6 p.m., Jen took a cold medicine that can cause drowsiness. At dinner at 7 p.m., a friend offers her a glass of wine. Jen plans to drive home at 10 p.m. Which plan is the safe one?
Correct answer: Skip the wine, because with the medicine even one drink can severely weaken her driving
Why
Cold remedies and many other medicines can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision and alertness by themselves. With alcohol added, the effects can be much stronger than you expect, and the mix can even cause serious health problems. Before you drink or drive after you take any medicine, read the label and ask a doctor or pharmacist how it affects you.
