Question

1. which statement about over - the - counter (otc) medications and driving is true?

otc medications are never safe to take before driving.
otc medications cause more impairment than prescription ones.
otc medications have little or no effect on a persons driving.
otc medications may have side effects that can impair driving.

Explanation:

OTC medications are not uniformly unsafe (so the first option is wrong). There's no general rule that they cause more impairment than prescription meds (second option wrong). They can have effects (so third option wrong). Many OTC meds, like some cold - allergy meds, can cause drowsiness (a side - effect) which impairs driving.

Answer:

OTC medications may have side effects that can impair driving.
