Practice question

What is the only effective countermeasure when a driver experiences acute, overwhelming drowsiness and microsleep symptoms while driving?

  1. Open a window and continue until the planned fuel stop because fresh air reliably prevents microsleep
  2. Drinking energy drinks and continuing to drive for another 300 km
  3. Stop immediately in a safe parking area, drink a caffeinated beverage, and take a 15-to-20-minute power nap (Kurzschlaf)
  4. Rely on lane-departure warning to keep driving until the destination

Answer: C — Stop immediately in a safe parking area, drink a caffeinated beverage, and take a 15-to-20-minute power nap (Kurzschlaf)
