AMDifficulty 3/5

Is it advisable to eat a large meal before driving?

Correct answer

No, because fatigue or drowsiness may set in.

A large meal before driving is not recommended because it can promote drowsiness and fatigue. Choose a moderate meal, stay adequately hydrated and avoid alcohol. Driving very hungry is not advisable either. If sleepy, stop in a safe place and rest; food choices do not replace necessary rest.
