For answer A

The driver of a motor vehicle, of an agricultural or forestry tractor or of a tram may drive after having taken medicines against chronic diseases (a medical condition that persists over a long period of time), as long as these do not affect his state of vigilance. It must be known that they are prohibited from driving under the influence of psychoactive substances.

The main groups of medicines contraindicated for drivers are 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 irritability, diminish the capacity of effort and of concentration;
• sedatives: those medicines that produce drowsiness and reduce muscle coordination due to the weakness occurring in them;
• analgesics: those medicines that manifest through psychomotor agitation or through states of euphoria.

For answer B

The driver of a vehicle is obliged to appear at the set date, at the police unit that summoned him, for solving any issue related to his capacity as driver. Failure to respect this obligation is sanctioned with the fine provided in class IV of sanctions.

For answer C

The driver of a motor vehicle, of an agricultural or forestry tractor or of a tram is not obliged to notify the nearest police unit if he became ill. However, the family doctor of the driver of a motor vehicle, of an agricultural or forestry tractor or of a tram, who is in his care or record, when discovering that he suffers from a disease that does not allow driving a motor vehicle, established by the Annex of Order 1162/2010, is obliged to issue a referral ticket to an authorized medical assistance unit, with the diagnosed conditions or, as the case may be, to communicate to the traffic police in whose territorial area he carries out his activity the name, surname and personal numerical code of that person.
