You are already driving and begin to feel sleepy. What is the only effective response?

The answer

  • Drink coffee and keep going
  • Stop and rest until you are refreshed Correct
  • Chew gum and shorten your following distance
  • Open a window and turn up the radio

Why that's the answer

The handbook is blunt: the only way to treat driver fatigue once you have started driving is to stop and rest until you are refreshed. Air, noise and caffeine delay the feeling, not the impairment.
