Why is driving when you are ill, angry, or depressed not recommended?

  1. You might get pulled over by law enforcement

  2. Your insurance rates may increase

  3. You could become too distracted to handle vehicle safety

  4. You might end up taking the wrong road

The correct answer is: You could become too distracted to handle vehicle safety

Driving while experiencing negative emotions such as illness, anger, or depression can greatly impact your ability to focus on operating a vehicle safely. These emotions can cause distraction, impair decision making, and increase reaction times, putting you and others on the road at risk. While choices A, B, and D may be consequences of driving under these conditions, they are not the main reason why it is not recommended. The main concern is for the safety of both the driver and others on the road.
