What is the consequence of driving under the influence of prescription drugs according to the law?

Driving under the influence of prescription drugs is considered a crime under the law, and individuals can indeed be charged with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). This holds true even if the drugs were legally obtained through a prescription, as the law typically focuses on the effects of the drugs on a person's ability to drive safely. If prescription medication impairs a person's cognitive or motor skills to the extent that they cannot operate a vehicle safely, they can face serious legal repercussions just as if they were under the influence of illegal substances or alcohol.

It's important to understand that having a prescription does not provide immunity from charges related to impaired driving. Therefore, the correct answer highlights the legal accountability drivers face when their ability to drive is compromised by any substance, including prescription medications.
