According to the center of Disease Control and Prevention
16% of motor vehicle crashes are caused by someone who is under the influence of drugs.
Sadly this figure not only includes illegal street drugs, but it also includes prescription drugs and
over-the-counter medications.
People take prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications for many reasons such as high blood pressure
allergies, diabetes,
anxiety or even for common cold.
While most people can safely operate a vehicle while taking these medications.
Some people may experience serious reactions that can make operating and motor vehicle extremely dangerous.
More specifically, some medications may cause drowsiness
blurred vision or even the inability to focus or pay attention.
A car crash can happen quickly so it's important that drivers are fully alert to avoid being a danger to themselves
their passengers or other drivers.
Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor or local pharmacist about how prescriptions or over-the-counter
Medications may impair your ability to drive. This simple
