Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Jordan took a sleep aid that his doctor prescribed. In the morning he still feels groggy and slow, but he has had no alcohol. Is it legal for him to drive while the drug still affects him?
Correct answer: No, because driving while a drug leaves you unable to drive safely is DUI
Why
Many prescription drugs, such as sleep aids, sedatives, pain relievers and antidepressants, can slow reflexes and affect judgment, vision and alertness much like alcohol. Read the label, ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects, and let someone else drive while you feel the effects. Never mix these drugs with alcohol, because each can multiply the effects of the other.
