If you just have a fever and are not fatigued or feeling weak as a result of the fever and flu then you can drive with the fever.

But if you're feeling tired, fatigued, have weakness etc then avoid driving until the flu or cold virus has left your body.

Driving requires lots of concentration and is a big responsibility so if you're not feeling too good then stay home and off the road and if you need to be somewhere have someone else drive you.

Driving when you have the flu is not recommended especially if you feel fatigued and have a loss of concentration.

If the flu isn't too severe yet then driving with the flu is usually safe but when the flu has gotten too severe where your body is weak, you have fatigue and cannot concentrate properly then it would not be a good idea to drive while you have the flu.

I have drove when I had the flu and I was okay but I took less traveled roads where I could drive slower and stayed off main highways and freeways.

But if I felt too fatigued from the flu then I would not drive because you could get into a car accident and if you drive while having the flu and cause a wreck due to the flu then you could be held liable for anything that happens.
