Driving with hay fever

Driving with hay fever

Driving with hay fever is comparable to driving with two to three glasses of alcohol.

This is apparent from research by the academic hospital Maastricht UMC. Driving skills are affected because hay fever can cause fatigue and memory problems.

Be extra alert
Especially if your driving skills may already be impaired by other factors, such as medication, you should be extra vigilant if you want to drive while you have hay fever.
