Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Your doctor prescribed a new medicine. The label warns that it can cause drowsiness, and an hour after the first dose you feel slow and sleepy. What should you do about driving?
Correct answer: Get another ride until you know that the medicine no longer affects you
Why
Prescription and over-the-counter medicines can both affect your driving and make you less alert than usual. Before you take a medicine, find out how it will affect you, and drive as little as possible while you take it. When you plan a long trip, avoid medicines that cause drowsiness.
