Should you refrain from driving a moped if you have taken medication of which you have no knowledge or information about how it affects the body and safe driving?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The driver is obliged to maintain a state which guarantees safe control of the vehicle. Taking medication with unknown effects on the body poses a risk of psychomotor impairment, which is equivalent to an inability to participate safely in road traffic. In the interest of your own safety and that of other road users, you must absolutely refrain from driving.
