It is against the law to drive a car, motor bike, truck, bus, pedal bike or an animal-drawn vehicle while "under the influence of an intoxicant to such an extent as to be incapable of having control of the vehicle". Intoxicants include alcohol and drugs, whether taken separately or together. The word "drugs" here includes legal prescribed and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines.
