A driver in Deventer drives under the influence of a sleeping pill from the GP and is no longer able to drive properly. The case goes to court. What is the most the judge can impose?
Only an ordinary traffic fine of about €400, without a driving ban
No penalty: a sleeping pill from the GP falls outside the ban
A fine of up to €25,750 or up to 1 year in prison, and a driving ban of up to 5 years
Explanation
False — you think a medicine from the GP falls outside the ban. The ban covers every substance that you know or ought to know can reduce your driving ability, medicines included. The book names as the maximum a fine of up to €25,750 or up to 1 year in prison, and a driving ban of up to 5 years (book p. 17).
