Impairment, Fatigue & Distraction

You notice yourself yawning repeatedly, drifting in the lane, and missing a sign. What should you do?

  • A.Speed up to finish the trip sooner
  • B.Drink coffee and keep driving for one more hour
  • C.Stop at the next safe place and rest or nap before driving further
  • D.Open the window and slap your face to stay awake
Correct answer

C. Stop at the next safe place and rest or nap before driving further

Why

Repeated yawning, lane drift, and missed signs mean you are already driving impaired by fatigue, and microsleeps can follow without warning. Pulling off and resting is the only responsible action.
