BDifficulty 2/5

If an illness or its medication causes symptoms affecting driving ability, how should you act?

Correct answer

Stop driving and, if already travelling, stop somewhere safe.

Do not drive with impaired ability. If symptoms arise during a journey, stop somewhere safe and consult a healthcare professional. Read the leaflet’s driving warnings beforehand, especially when starting treatment or changing dose. Do not wait for an incident or reduce or stop medication on your own.
