Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You took the first dose of a new prescription this morning. The label warns against operating heavy machinery, and you feel fine. Which statement is correct?
Correct answer: You should not drive until you know how the new medicine affects you
Why
Many legal medicines, including cold and allergy medicines, can cause drowsiness or slow your reactions. Washington law makes it a crime to drive while affected by alcohol, cannabis or any drug, whether or not a doctor prescribed it. Read the labels, ask a doctor or pharmacist, and arrange another ride when you are not sure.
