Module 1: 1.6.4 Mental & Physical Conditions that Affect Driving**
- 1.6.4 Illness and Use of Medication
Any illness can prevent you from driving. Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle out if you are suffering from any sort of illness whatsoever. Similarly, many medications induce a calming and sedative effect which can make you tired while driving. In addition, these medicines can alter your focus and attention levels and slow down your response time.
Hence, it is essential to prevent yourself from driving if you feel ill or take those medicines that produce sedative and calming effects.
