Question 1509 in the bank

How can we overcome the problem of tiredness while driving?

  1. Correct answer: Have an adequate rest before driving and take rest breaks during the journey.
  2. A short break and a heavy meal will drive the tiredness away for a long time.
  3. Drive slowly until the tiredness passes away.
  4. Physical exercise will drive the tiredness away for many hours.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Have an adequate rest before driving and take rest breaks during the journey.

Only real rest deals with tiredness: sleep and rest well before setting out, and stop for rest breaks during the journey. A heavy meal actually increases drowsiness, and physical exercise refreshes you only briefly. Driving slowly does not remove tiredness, and a tired driver is still dangerous at low speed.
