Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
This morning you took an over-the-counter allergy medicine. At lunch you drink one glass of wine, and you plan to drive after lunch. What should you know?
Correct answer: The medicine and the wine can multiply each other's effects, so one drink can act like several.
Why
Read the label of every medicine, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects that affect driving. Some drugs make you alert for a short time and then tired and less attentive when they wear off. Never mix alcohol with tranquilizers or sedatives, which already make driving very dangerous.
