Question

At a check along the A28 a driver says he took a painkiller from his GP and that it makes him drowsy. Because the medicine comes from the GP, driving with it does not fall under the ban on driving under the influence.

Accepted Answer

False — False — you think only illegal drugs fall under the ban. The ban covers every substance that you know or ought to know can reduce your driving ability, including a medicine from the GP. Whoever feels drowsy from it does not drive. (WVW 1994 art. 8, 163 | VekaBest p.16-17 (Hoofdstuk 1 §1.3))
