BDifficulty 2/5

If you have taken narcotics or psychotropic substances that alter your mental state, are you allowed to drive a vehicle?

Correct answer

No, since this is not an appropriate mental state for driving without creating danger.

No, if their effects impair the physical or mental conditions needed for safe driving. The exception for substances prescribed for therapeutic purposes also requires fitness to drive safely: a prescription does not authorise driving with sleepiness or impaired abilities. A short trip or absence of another driver does not remove the risk. Read the leaflet, consult a healthcare professional and do not drive while impaired.
