What is an effect of cold medications on driving?

  1. They enhance alertness

  2. They may impair driving skills

  3. They have no effect on driving

  4. They increase reaction time

The correct answer is: They may impair driving skills

Cold medications often contain ingredients that can cause drowsiness or impair the central nervous system. These effects can lead to diminished attention, slower reaction times, and impaired judgment, which are crucial for safe driving. Drivers under the influence of these medications may have difficulty responding to sudden changes on the road or interpreting traffic signals. It is important to be aware of these potential side effects and to avoid driving if experiencing drowsiness or any impairment as a result of cold medications. This understanding is essential for ensuring both personal safety and the safety of others on the road.
