Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Two hours into a long trip, you keep yawning and your eyes feel heavy. What is the safest choice?
Correct answer: Stop in a safe place to rest, or switch to a rested driver.
Why
A tired driver sees less, reacts more slowly, makes poorer decisions and can fall asleep without warning. Stopping to sleep for a few hours is safer than betting that you can stay awake. On long trips, get a normal night's sleep first, eat lightly, avoid medicine that causes drowsiness, and take a break about every hour.
