On a long drive, how often should a driver plan a break, as a general safety guide?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. About every two hours
- Step 1: Concentration falls with time. Step 2. Plan regular breaks. Answer: About every two hours. Why not the others: Every six hours: too infrequent to keep attention. Only when hungry: tiredness comes before hunger. Only when the fuel is low: fuel is not a measure of alertness.
