Can a tram driver prior to commencing work take a medicine, in which the leaflet contains the following entry "during the treatment period, do not drive"?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The information in the medicine's leaflet is an unambiguous warning that the preparation impairs the driver's psychomotor performance. In accordance with regulations, it is prohibited to drive a vehicle – including a tram – after taking a substance that acts similarly to alcohol, and a medicine with the described warning must be considered such a substance. Operating a vehicle in such a condition would pose a direct threat to road safety.
