Should you refrain from driving a moped if you have taken medication of which you have no knowledge or information about how it affects the body and safe driving?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The question is about riding a moped after taking medicines when you do not know how they affect the body and driving safety. In that case you should refrain from riding - the answer is YES.
Some medicines, for example sedatives, sleeping pills, painkillers with codeine or older-generation anti-allergy medicines, cause drowsiness, slow down reactions or disturb concentration. They can also have a similar effect to alcohol, and the Road Traffic Act prohibits driving after using such a substance. If you do not know how a medicine affects you, check the section about driving vehicles in the leaflet, or ask a doctor or pharmacist. Until then, you do not get on the moped. You ride only when your condition allows you to drive the vehicle safely.
