Which of the following can affect your driving abilities?

Correct answer

  • Marijuana
  • Prescription tranquilizers
  • Over-the-counter cold medicines

Explanation

Many legal drugs can cause drowsiness, sedation, or impaired coordination, which can impair your driving. Examples include some prescription painkillers, tranquilizers, and antidepressants; and some over-the-counter sleep aids, allergy medications, and cold medications. If a police officer observes you driving erratically and you admit to the officer that you have taken such drugs, you can be charged with DWI. If you are uncertain about the effects of a drug you are taking, check the warning label or ask your pharmacist or doctor.
