Title: Medication and Road Safety: A Scoping Study

Summary: Medications may influence the skills and processes required for safe driving, both positively and negatively, and this impact may differ among drivers. The aim of this project was to examine the influence of prescription medication on driving, focusing on the impairing effects of different medications, individuals’ awareness of any impairment, and whether individuals taking medication alter their driving behaviour. The project consisted of three activities: a brief, broad review of research abstracts in the relevant driving and psychopharmacological literatures; the development of a simplified diagram representing the factors influencing the effect of medication on driving; and a classification exercise to develop a medication risk table, with the intention of identifying priority areas for further consideration.
