Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
What substances besides alcohol can impair driving?
Correct answer: Medicines, herbal remedies and illegal drugs.
Why
Prescription medicines, non-prescription medicines, herbal products and illegal drugs can affect alertness, judgment, coordination or reaction time. Read warnings and ask a pharmacist or prescriber about driving effects. Do not drive while impaired; a legal prescription or a natural label does not guarantee safe driving.
