BDifficulty 1/5

Can flu, a cold, allergies or some medicines used to treat them affect driving?

Correct answer

Yes; symptoms or treatment may impair driving ability.

Yes; symptoms may impair attention and some medicines cause drowsiness. Effects depend on the person and treatment; familiar symptoms do not remove the risk. Every cold does not require a specialist: consult a healthcare professional and the leaflet, and do not drive when impaired.
