If you begin to feel tired while driving, the best thing to do is to:
- Get some coffee.
- Open your window.
- Stop driving. ✓
- Turn on the radio.
Answer: C. Stop driving.
If you start feeling tired while driving, the best thing to do is stop driving.
Why this is the answer
The Texas handbook tells drivers not to drive when they are tired or not feeling well, and it says never to force yourself to drive. It also warns against driving while tired at all. Since the handbook's guidance is to avoid driving in that condition, the safe response is to stop driving rather than try to push through. Coffee, fresh air, or the radio may seem like quick fixes, but the passages do not support relying on them when you are tired.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Get some coffee. — Getting coffee is not what the handbook recommends for a tired driver; it tells you not to drive when tired, so a stimulant drink is not a substitute for stopping.
- B. Open your window. — Opening your window is not given as a solution; the handbook's instruction is to avoid driving when you are tired.
- D. Turn on the radio. — Turning on the radio is not supported by the passages, which say not to drive when you are tired rather than suggesting a distraction to stay awake.
Remember it
Think of tiredness as a red light for driving, not a reason to reach for a pick-me-up.
