Officials have the authority to advise drivers to 'avoid driving'
DVLA officials have the authority to advise drivers to "avoid driving" if they're taking specific medications, as highlighted by leading automotive experts. Greg Wilson, who is the founder of car insurance specialists Quotezone.co.uk, has cautioned that individuals on "strong medications" might face the risk of having their licences revoked since certain drugs could impair a motorist's ability to drive safely.
Greg mentioned: "If you are on strong medications, it is likely that you will be recommended to avoid driving." He added that "opioid painkillers, tranquillisers, and certain antidepressants" are among the medicines that can affect someone's driving capability, especially those known to induce sleepiness or carry warnings against operating heavy machinery.
They pointed out: "Some antidepressants can cause dizziness, drowsiness and blurred vision, particularly when you first start taking them. If you do experience these problems, you should not drive or use tools and machinery."
