If you are given medication by your doctor that does not affect your driving, what do you have to do?
Not drive - you shouldn't be driving on medication
You can drive whenever you want
You must tell the police where you are driving
New Zealand road rules provide clear regulations and recommendations regarding the conduct of drivers after taking medication. If a medication prescribed by a doctor does not impair driving ability, drivers may continue to drive as usual without needing to specifically inform the police or completely avoid driving. The importance of this regulation lies in ensuring that people's daily lives and work are not unnecessarily restricted, as long as driving safety is not compromised. Additionally, this regulation emphasizes the need for doctors to consider the potential impact of medications on driving ability when assessing and prescribing medications, thereby enhancing road safety.
