Correct answer
Park the vehicle for as long as necessary and take a rest.
Find a safe permitted place to park as soon as possible and rest as needed; sleep if sleepy. Do not wait to reach the destination or compensate by speeding up or using stimulating drinks. Do not ordinarily use the central reservation or shoulder as a rest stop. If continuing safely is no longer possible, treat this as an emergency, call for help and follow the appropriate instructions rather than forcing yourself to reach a service area. Resume only when fit to drive.
