Question: To avoid drowsy driving on long trips:

Answer options:

  • Use cruise control to relax ✅ Take breaks every 2 hours and stop if drowsy
  • Drink coffee continuously
  • Open windows

Correct answer: Take breaks every 2 hours and stop if drowsy

Explanation: According to SAAQ safe-driving guidelines, taking a break every two hours and stopping to sleep when tired are the only effective ways to combat driver fatigue. Relying on cruise control can actually increase drowsiness by reducing driver engagement, while opening windows or drinking coffee only provide a dangerous, temporary illusion of alertness without resolving sleep deprivation. Official SAAQ standards emphasize that physical rest is the sole remedy for fatigue. For the exam, remember that passenger safety depends on proactive rest stops rather than quick fixes or driving aids, as fatigue is a major contributor to heavy vehicle and passenger car accidents in Quebec.
