Question 6586
If we drive at night to avoid traffic jams, we should keep in mind that...
- it is not necessary to rest on long trips, since fatigue does not occur at night.
- darkness prevents drowsiness from setting in, but favors the onset of fatigue.
- drowsiness or sleepiness behind the wheel occurs more easily.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: drowsiness or sleepiness behind the wheel occurs more easily.
At night, especially in the pre-dawn hours, your body clock tells you to sleep, and drowsiness sets in more easily. Darkness does not prevent it. Fatigue also occurs at night, so you need breaks on a long trip, and you should take them more often.
