What is the recommended action if you feel fatigued while driving?

When you feel fatigued while driving, the recommended action is to pull over safely and rest or switch drivers if possible. Fatigue significantly impairs your ability to make sound judgments, react quickly to situations, and maintain focus on the road. Continuing to drive while tired increases the risk of accidents due to delayed reaction times and diminished alertness.

Taking a break allows you to recover and restore your mental and physical energy, thus ensuring that you are in a better state to drive safely. If you are with someone else who can take over, switching drivers is another effective way to manage fatigue while ensuring you reach your destination safely.

The other options do not effectively address the dangers associated with driving while fatigued and can exacerbate the risk of collision or make the situation worse.
