[QUOTE="stephiesut, post: 401429, member: 52017"] My husband is a chronic pain sufferer and is on many of those drugs stated. The drugs are worked up slowly so you dont really get t. he drowsiness etc with them once they are established. He has been driving since he was 17, he is now 42 and has never had an accident, he is a superb and ultra safe driver. If he doesn't feel fit to drive, he won't get in the car. I think if they auto blamed anyone with painkillers in their system for accidents it would be a disaster. Also many people with chronic pain conditioms rely on the car in order to get out and about as they ar e often unable to walk far. It would be condemning many disabled people to a life shut away indoors? Anyone causing an accident due to being unfit to drive should of course be prosecuted, but it is unfair to the majority who know their own bodies to be prevented from doing something they can do perfectly safely [/QUOTE]
