What effect may a cold, or some medicines used to relieve it, have on driving?

Correct answer

It may impair concentration and cause drowsiness.

Cold symptoms may make concentration harder, and some treatments may cause drowsiness. Effects vary with the person and medicine; every cold does not require treatment by a specialist before driving. Read the leaflet and consult a healthcare professional, and do not drive if symptoms or treatment impair your ability.
