Question 5315
On a long trip, what can be done to prevent the symptoms of fatigue from appearing?
- Replace driving breaks with coffee or energy drinks.
- Play music or a radio station at a fairly high volume.
- Take sufficiently long breaks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Take sufficiently long breaks.
A break helps you recover if it lasts long enough, about 20 or 30 minutes every 2 hours. Stopping for five minutes isn't enough. Coffee or energy drinks don't replace a break, and loud music doesn't get rid of fatigue either. In the image, a man is resting on a bench at a rest area.
