Question 6589
If symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue appear while driving, the most advisable way to avoid an accident is...
- to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for a while if necessary.
- to drive on roads outside built-up areas so that driving is less monotonous.
- to increase speed to arrive sooner at the final destination.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for a while if necessary.
Your driving is already worse from the first signs of drowsiness or fatigue, and pushing through does not fix it. Stop somewhere suitable and rest, and if you're sleepy, sleep for a while. Speeding up to arrive sooner or looking for a more interesting road keeps you behind the wheel in that condition.
