1. Drugs

Drugs and driving are a dangerous and illegal mix. Whether they're illegal drugs, prescription medications, or over-the-counter substances, many drugs can impair your ability to drive safely, just like alcohol—or worse.

  • Never drive under the influence of any drug—legal or illegal.
  • Read medication labels carefully.
  • Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a drug may impair your driving.
  • If in doubt, don’t drive—use public transport or rideshare.
