You can drive once you have monitored how the drug affects you.
The first time I took 5mg of Valium I was asleep in an hour and in no state to drive.
Now after understanding dosage and how this dosage affects “me” I can drive on 10mg of Valium without issues. This is also due to tolerance of the drug.
I dare say that it does impair my reaction speed somewhat but not enough to be dangerous.
Your mileage may vary.
