A1Difficulty 3/5

How should you act if you feel drowsy while driving at night?

Correct answer

Parking in a safe place and resting.

Stop as soon as possible in a suitable safe place and rest or sleep. Drowsiness increases reaction time and can cause microsleeps. Do not wait for the next scheduled stop or speed up to arrive sooner. Alcohol impairs driving and is not a safe stimulant. Do not resume while drowsiness persists; taking a break does not itself guarantee that you are fit to drive again.
