What should you do if you feel drowsy while driving?
- Stop for a short rest in a safe area ✓
- Turn up your radio
- Open the window for some fresh air
- Reduce speed
Answer: A. Stop for a short rest in a safe area
If you feel drowsy while driving, stop for a short rest in a safe area.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that to stay in control and drive safely, you need to be healthy, rested and focused. Feeling drowsy means you are not rested enough to rely on what you see and hear, so the safe response is to stop in a safe place and rest. The passages do not present music, fresh air or a lower speed as a fix for drowsiness.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Turn up your radio — Turning up the radio does not make you rested, and the handbook does not list it as a way to deal with drowsiness.
- C. Open the window for some fresh air — Opening the window gives fresh air but does not restore the rest and focus the handbook says you need.
- D. Reduce speed — Reducing speed does not change the fact that you are drowsy and need to be rested to drive safely.
Remember it
Think rest, not tricks: music and fresh air do not replace being rested.
