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.
