BDifficulty 2/5

If you are overtaken by drowsiness while driving, you must...

Correct answer

park the vehicle in a permitted place and sleep.

Park as soon as possible in a permitted, safe place and sleep or rest until fit to drive. Do not speed up or drive along the shoulder to arrive sooner. Do not resume driving while still drowsy. When immobilised, retain the lighting required by the road and visibility conditions; resting does not mean all lights should always be switched off.
