C1Difficulty 3/5

A driver takes medication that can cause drowsiness and reduce reflexes. How can it affect reaction time?

Correct answer

It can increase reaction time.

It can increase it: reacting takes longer. Medicines do not all have the same effects; these depend on the product, dose, interactions and individual. Read the leaflet and ask a doctor or pharmacist, especially when starting or changing treatment. Do not drive if your ability is impaired. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment on your own. The driving pictogram warns you to read the leaflet’s precautions.
