Question 6116
To avoid an accident, a driver experiencing fatigue behind the wheel must stop to rest properly as soon as possible because...
- visual acuity increases and objects appear blurry.
- drowsiness can set in at any moment.
- the effects of fatigue cause the driver to test positive on a breath alcohol test.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: drowsiness can set in at any moment.
Fatigue and drowsiness are closely linked: the more fatigued you are, the sleepier you get. If you keep driving while tired, you can fall asleep at any moment without being able to control it. Fatigue does not make you test positive on a breath alcohol test. Your visual acuity also decreases.
