Question 1: While driving you notice the first signs of tiredness, such as frequent yawning. What is correct?
- Drive faster to reach the destination sooner
- Stop soon and take a break or rest
- Open the window and listen to loud music
Show answer
Correct answer: Stop soon and take a break or rest
Only recovery helps against tiredness. Anyone who is unfit to drive because of overtiredness must not drive; fresh air or music do not tackle the cause.

- You are already looking forward to the end of work at home
- You are a little hungry and somewhat thirsty
- Gaps in your memory of the last few kilometres
Show answer
Correct answer: Gaps in your memory of the last few kilometres
Memory gaps, drifting out of the lane or heavy eyelids are warning signs of microsleep. Then stop safely at once.

Question 3: When is the risk of tiredness at the wheel particularly high?
- In the first minutes after the break
- At night and in the early morning
