Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You have driven on the interstate for three hours. The road is straight, the engine hum is steady, and you notice that you stare ahead and your eyelids feel heavy. What is the best action?
Correct answer: Leave at the next exit or rest area, get out of the car, and rest before you go on.
Why
Long, steady driving can bring on interstate hypnosis, a drowsy and unaware state. The manual advises a break at least every two hours or about 100 miles, and not more than eight hours of driving in a day. If you are sleepy, a few hours of sleep is safer than trying to stay awake.
