      It does. Vehicles, forklifts, cranes… If you could reasonably steer it over a person you wouldn’t want to do so on certain medications.

    Yes. But i think the confusion is intentional. In car-dependent societies, not driving is the same as not working, not shopping, and not seeing friends.

    It doesn’t even have to be driving, forklift does apply, but so does a crane (a lot of factories have gantry cranes for moving stuff), or even operating machines that require your attention like manual lathe or presses.
    A car is just most common, and most likely to cause harm out of those if you get dizzy, but you can still hurt yourself with plenty of other machines if you’re inattentive, sleepy or dizzy.

    Like schipelblorp says. Plus it essentially means don’t work with heavy machinery, and if you do and get injured, you’re not likely to be able to sue employer or machinery company successfully as you were mentally compromised. And you can’t sue the pharmaceutical company as you were warned.
