You plan a six-hour drive, mostly on interstates. Which plan follows the North Carolina handbook's advice to prevent drowsy driving?
Correct answer: Sleep a full night first, then stop at least every 2 hours to get out, stretch and walk.
Why
Crashes caused by drowsy driving are often serious, and they happen most often on high-speed rural roads when the driver is alone. On an interstate, the handbook also recommends frequent stops at rest areas, at least once every 100 miles. If you become sleepy anyway, stop: a short nap of 15 to 45 minutes and caffeine help, but only for a short time.
