What is the only effective countermeasure when a driver experiences drowsiness or heavy eyelids?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Stop at the nearest safe rest area, take a short walk, and rest or nap
- Step 1: Treating driver fatigue. Step 2. Loud music, open windows, and caffeine provide only fleeting illusions of alertness; real rest or a 20-minute power nap is the only cure. Answer: Stop at the nearest safe rest area, take a short walk, and rest or nap. Why not the others: Music cannot prevent involuntary micro-sleep; cold air wears off in minutes; speeding increases crash severity.
