A1Difficulty 3/5

You're taking medication for a cold. Can the medication affect the way you ride your motorcycle?

Correct answer

Yes, they can cause drowsiness

Some medicines used to relieve cold symptoms can cause drowsiness, reduce attention or slow reflexes. This can occur with a single medicine, not only when several are combined. Check the driving warnings in the leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Do not ride if effects prevent you from doing so safely.
