What is "driving whilst unfit"?
Driving while unfit refers to operating a vehicle when someone is not physically or mentally capable of doing so safely. This can be due to factors such as fatigue, illness, or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Being unfit to drive can weaken judgment, reaction times, and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. Driving while unfit is considered dangerous and illegal in many areas, and penalties can include fines, license suspension, or even imprisonment.
