Question 5234
Is it advisable to drive at night to avoid fatigue?
- Yes, because there is less traffic.
- No, because drowsiness sets in more easily.
- Yes, to avoid traffic jams if the trip is long.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because drowsiness sets in more easily.
No. At night, your body expects to sleep, and drowsiness sets in sooner, especially in the pre-dawn hours, between 3 and 5 in the morning. Less traffic or fewer traffic jams do not make up for that risk. An empty road is also more monotonous, which makes you sleepy too.
