Passing target: 20 correct signs and 20 correct rules
A tired person uses non-prescribed amphetamines to feel more awake before driving. Why does the resulting feeling of alertness not establish that driving is safe?
Correct answer: The drug can distort perception and cause anxiety and loss of coordination.
Why
A stimulant-induced feeling of wakefulness is not proof of safe driving ability. Non-medical amphetamine use can distort perception, affect coordination and cause anxiety or overconfidence. Do not use it as a way to overcome fatigue and keep driving. A tired driver needs to stop safely and rest. Prescribed treatment is a separate medical situation: discuss its effects with the prescribing clinician or pharmacist rather than changing treatment yourself.
