Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You took an over-the-counter cold medicine. The label warns that it can cause drowsiness and says not to operate heavy machinery. You need to drive to work in 30 minutes. What is the best choice?
Correct answer: Do not drive while the medicine may affect you; get a ride or ask a pharmacist.
Why
Sleeping pills, cough medicines, antihistamines and decongestants can slow your reactions and blur your judgment. The risk grows when a drug is mixed with alcohol. Read every label before you drive, and talk to your doctor or pharmacist when you start a new medicine.
