Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Kim has a valid prescription for a pain medicine. It makes her slow and drowsy, and she drives poorly. An officer charges her with DUI. Which statement is correct?
Correct answer: The charge can stand, because her legal right to use the drug is not a defense.
Why
West Virginia's DUI law covers driving while under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, any other drug, or a mix of them. If a medicine makes you unable to drive safely, get a ride or wait until the effect is gone.
