Question 71 in the bank

When is it forbidden for a person to drive any type of vehicle?

  1. When he did not rest at least 8 hours before driving
  2. Correct answer: When his physical or mental state might endanger other road-users
  3. Before taking a medication and during the following 24 consecutive hours
  4. As long as the driver holds a valid driver’s license, there is no law that prohibits him from driving

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When his physical or mental state might endanger other road-users

The law forbids driving any vehicle when the driver's physical or mental state, such as fatigue, illness, medication effects or strong emotional stress, might endanger other road users. A valid licence does not permit driving in such a condition. There is no blanket 24-hour ban around every medication; what matters is whether the medicine impairs driving ability.
