Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Your doctor prescribes a medicine with a label that warns it can cause drowsiness. An hour after you take it, you feel sleepy, and you need to drive to work. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stay off the road until the drowsiness is gone, and find another way to get to work.
Why
Many prescription and over-the-counter medicines can cause drowsiness, slow reactions or poor judgment, and some are as dangerous as alcohol for a driver. Vermont's DUI law covers driving under the influence of any drug, not only alcohol. Read the label, and ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it is safe to drive after you take the medicine. Never mix such a medicine with alcohol.
