Your doctor prescribes a sedative. You take it as directed, and an hour later you feel drowsy and slow. You need to get to work. What should you do?
Correct answer: Get another ride, and ask your doctor how the drug affects your driving.
Why
Tennessee's DUI law covers any drug that impairs your ability to drive, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and the penalties are the same as for alcohol. Read the label for warnings such as "may cause drowsiness" or "do not operate machinery". When you are unsure whether you can drive safely, do not drive.
