To maintain safety while driving, what should you do if you feel drowsy?

Drink coffee
Pull over and rest
Turn up the radio
Keep driving but slow down

The correct answer is: Pull over and rest

If you feel drowsy while driving, pulling over and resting is the safest course of action. Drowsiness can severely impair your reaction times, decision-making, and overall awareness of your surroundings—issues that can lead to dangerous situations on the road. Taking a break allows you to regain alertness and reduce the risk of falling asleep behind the wheel. While consuming caffeine, like coffee, might offer a temporary boost in alertness, it is not a substitute for proper rest and may not be effective for everyone. Turning up the radio can engage your senses, but it does not address the root problem of fatigue. Continuing to drive, even at a reduced speed, is hazardous as it does not eliminate the potential for drowsiness to lead to an accident. Prioritizing safety always means taking the necessary actions to ensure that you are fully alert when operating a vehicle.
