Question 856 in the bank

How can we overcome the problem of tiredness whilst driving?

  1. By driving faster to shorten your journey and arrive home early.
  2. Black coffee is the solution for all problems.
  3. A short break and a heavy meal will drive the tiredness away for a long time.
  4. Correct answer: By having adequate rest before driving and making rest and refreshment breaks during your journey.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: By having adequate rest before driving and making rest and refreshment breaks during your journey.

Tiredness only goes away with real rest and sleep, so drivers should be well rested before setting off and take regular rest and refreshment breaks on the way, especially on long journeys. Coffee gives only a short, temporary boost and does not replace rest. A heavy meal actually increases drowsiness, and driving faster raises the crash risk when reactions are already slow.
