What should the driver do if they are driving and feel tired?

  1. The driver should stop and take a break.
  2. The driver should increase speed so as to shorten the journey.
  3. The driver should drive along the centre of the road and reduce speed.
  4. The driver should drive on the hard shoulder where available.

Correct Answer

The driver should stop and take a break.

Explanation: Driving when you are tired can be very dangerous; and it may cause you to micro-sleep (or nod off momentarily). At 100 km/h you travel at 28 metres a second; so if you micro-sleep for just 4 seconds you would travel over 100 metres without being in control of the vehicle. Never drive if you are fighting sleep.
