Question: If you become drowsy while driving you should:

Answer options:

• Open a window and continue ✅ Stop in a safe place and rest
• Drive faster to arrive sooner
• Turn up the radio

Correct answer: Stop in a safe place and rest

Explanation: Stopping in a safe place to rest is the correct action because sleep is the only effective remedy for fatigue. Under the Official MTO Driver's Handbook, physical tiredness severely impairs reaction times and cognitive function, making driving unsafe. Attempting to open windows, increase speed, or blast the radio are dangerous and ineffective temporary distractions that do not resolve the underlying physical need for sleep. On the Ontario G1 exam, remember that any option suggesting a "quick fix" for drowsiness instead of pulling over to rest is always incorrect, as safety guidelines prioritize stopping over pushing through fatigue.
