Tasmania · Driver Knowledge Test · Road rules

You start to feel drowsy on a long drive. What is the only effective remedy for driver fatigue?

The answer

  • Stopping somewhere safe and having a sleep or proper rest break Correct
  • Driving faster so you finish the trip sooner
  • Turning up the radio and opening a window
  • Drinking a strong coffee and pressing on

Why that's the answer

The only real cure for fatigue is sleep — loud music, fresh air and caffeine only mask drowsiness briefly. You are responsible for making sure you are fit to drive, so stop and rest before continuing.
