Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Late at night on a long drive, you start to yawn often and drift toward the lane line. Which action actually deals with the drowsiness?
Correct answer: Stop at a safe, lighted place and rest or sleep.
Why
A drowsy driver can have microsleeps of a few seconds, and half of drivers who crashed after falling asleep noticed no warning. Being awake for 20 hours impairs you about as much as a blood alcohol level of .05 percent. After a nap, walk around for a few minutes before you drive again.
