A driver keeps turning up the radio and rolling down the window to stay awake. What do those tactics really indicate?
- A.They indicate drowsiness is already present and a safe stop for rest is needed, because the tactics only mask symptoms briefly
- B.They prove the driver is fit to continue
- C.They are an approved substitute for a nap
- D.They reset the hours-of-service clock
Correct answer
A. They indicate drowsiness is already present and a safe stop for rest is needed, because the tactics only mask symptoms briefly
Why
Needing tricks to fight sleep is itself a warning sign, not a solution. Once those signs appear, the professional decision is to stop at the next safe place rather than negotiate with fatigue.
