Drugs and Driving
Many of the drugs used in pain management can affect reaction time and coordination.
For more detailed information on driving and drugs, you should get leaflet D100 - 'What you need to know about driving licences.'. It should be available at most Post Offices, and we have enclosed a link to download it here.
You will need to quote your driver number when you write or telephone the DVLC.
It is recommended that you should also inform your insurance company of any drugs you are taking, as it may affect a your premium or any claims you make.
