Tap to reveal answer

A Legal if the substance was prescribed to you.
B A DUI, with penalties equivalent to alcohol DUI.
C Only an issue for cannabis, not other drugs.
D A minor infraction.
Why this answer

Utah's DUI statute (Utah Code §41-6a-502) covers alcohol AND any drug that impairs safe driving — including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and illegal substances. Prescription alone is not a defense if the driver was impaired. Penalties match standard DUI: license suspension, fines, education program, and possible jail.
