Psychoactive Medication and Traffic Safety [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2009
Driving a car is important to maintain independence and participate in society. Many of those who use psychoactive medication are outpatients and are thus likely to drive a vehicle. Most common adverse effects that impair driving are reduced alertness, affected psychomotor functioning and impaired vision.
