Question 7904
High temperatures can pose a risk to safety while driving. Are you required to take preventive measures while driving?
- Yes, the driver must take extra precautions and take the recommended breaks and stops to avoid fatigue and drowsiness.
- Yes, so you should drive at night, since the lower temperature allows the driver a longer reaction time.
- No, as long as the temperature inside the vehicle does not exceed 20 degrees.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, the driver must take extra precautions and take the recommended breaks and stops to avoid fatigue and drowsiness.
Yes. Heat makes you sleepy, tires you out sooner, and increases your reaction time. Be more careful, keep the interior between 20 and 23 degrees, and stop more often than usual. Even if the car is cool inside, you still need breaks.
