Which practice is recommended if you feel drowsy while driving?

• A. Drive slowly and keep going
• B. Pull off the road and get some sleep
• C. Turn up the radio and push through
• D. Drink energy drinks and continue

Answer: (B)

Feeling drowsy behind the wheel greatly slows your reactions and can cause you to drift or even fall asleep at the wheel. The safest move is to pull off the road in a safe spot and get some sleep. A short nap of about 15–20 minutes can restore alertness, and if you’re still tired, extend the rest or delay your trip until you’re fully awake. Quick fixes won’t fix fatigue: turning up the radio or pushing through doesn’t remove the underlying sleepiness, and energy drinks may mask fatigue for a while but don’t cure it and can lead to a crash later. The priority is to rest until you’re alert before continuing.
