For answer  A 

The driver of a motor vehicle, of an agricultural or forestry tractor or tram to whom a medical treatment has been prescribed must make sure that its administration will not affect his ability to drive.

It must be known that for them driving under the influence of some psychoactive substances is prohibited. The psychoactive substances can have a series of effects on the behaviour of a person, including the impairment of his judgment, reflexes and coordination, thus they can negatively affect driving performance, influencing visual function, perception and reaction speed. Driving under the influence of psychoactive substances increases the risk of a traffic accident.

The main groups of medicines contraindicated to drivers include the following:

• tranquilizers: those medicines that produce drowsiness, reduce the ability to concentrate and diminish physical and mental performance;
• antidepressants: those medicines that sometimes produce states of irritability, diminish the effort capacity and the state of concentration;
• sedatives: those medicines that produce drowsiness and reduce muscle coordination due to the weakness appearing at their level;
• analgesics: those medicines that manifest through psychomotor agitation or through states of euphoria.

For answer  B 

When administering a medical treatment the activity of driving a motor vehicle, an agricultural or forestry tractor or tram must not be taken into consideration, as long as these medicines do not influence the driving ability.

However, in the case in which the medical treatment affects the ability to drive, it is prohibited to him to drive these vehicles.

For answer  C 

The information must be made about establishing the maximum dose that can be administered without compromising the driving ability, not about establishing the minimum dose.
