Whose responsibility is it to understand how medications affect your driving?

Understanding how medications affect your driving is primarily your own responsibility, as it directly impacts your safety and the safety of others on the road. It is essential for drivers to be aware of how different medications can influence physical and mental abilities, including reaction times, concentration, and overall driving skills.

As the driver, you are the one who will be behind the wheel, making decisions that can have immediate consequences on your driving performance. Being informed about your medications allows you to assess your capabilities and make necessary adjustments, such as refraining from driving if a medication could impair your abilities.

While parents, healthcare providers, and friends can provide valuable information and guidance, the ultimate responsibility lies with you to ensure you only drive when you are fit to do so, considering the effects of any medications you may be taking.
