For answer  A 

In answer A it is NOT specified that the contraindicated medicines are those with psychoactive effects, which affect the ability to drive motor vehicles safely, but it refers to those medicines that are not recommended for use in certain situations due to dangerous interactions with other medicines or conditions.

The driver of a motor vehicle, of an agricultural or forestry tractor or tram may drive after consuming the contraindicated medicines, as long as these do not affect his state of alertness. It must be known that they are prohibited from driving under the influence of psychoactive substances.

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