Question 1518 in the bank

What effective solution for tiredness is available to the driver?

  1. Turning on the fog lights.
  2. Correct answer: Stopping and resting.
  3. Adjusting the speed to his level of tiredness (driving slower the more tired he is).
  4. Turning on the wipers and solving a cryptic crossword.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stopping and resting.

Tiredness slows reactions, weakens concentration and can cause the driver to nod off for a few seconds at the wheel. The only thing that really deals with it is stopping in a safe place and resting. Driving more slowly does not stop you falling asleep, and switching on fog lights or wipers does nothing for alertness.
