Which of these helps you avoid fatigue on a long drive?

The answer

  • Eating a large fatty meal before setting off
  • Turning the heating up to stay comfortable
  • Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol, fatty food and sweet soft drinks Correct
  • Drinking several strong coffees in a row

Why that's the answer

Dehydration can cause fatigue, and some food and drink removes water from your body. Avoid alcohol, fatty foods, too much coffee and sweet soft drinks, and drink plenty of water instead.
