Drivers with hay fever have been warned
It comes as we approach the warmer season with the likes of 'high pollen and 'pollen bombs' being searched with people keen to know how to keep their symptoms under control.
As hay fever can cause extreme eye irritation and vision problems, and allergy medication can cause drowsiness, drivers who get behind the wheel while suffering from severe levels of these conditions need to be aware that they are at risk of violating rule 90 of the Highway Code, they warn. Not only that, drivers could get somewhere between three to nine penalty points for careless and inconsiderate driving.
If you suffer badly but still need to drive, it is advised that you talk to a healthcare professional for advice before getting behind the wheel.
