    Hi, what drugs are tested for now under drug driving tests? Wary I have a flu and have a fair bit of driving to do, don’t want to be over the limit on any medication I take.

    Thanks

    Pretty much every drug prescribed and illegal that impairs your driving it tested for.

    I'm guessing if it was a case of prescribed or over-the-counter legal drugs, the garda would have to prove how your driving was impaired.
    Ask in your local station.

    Ask in your local station.

    If by prove, you mean the Garda's own statement in court...

    Ask the pharmacist or the doctor that gave you the drugs if they will impair your driving.
    Not sure why you are asking about limits.
