CDL · Distraction and fatigue
In which of these situations are you more likely to become fatigued?
Correct answer: When no one else is in the vehicle.
Answer options
- AWhen you have slept more than 8 hours
- BWhen no one else is in the vehicle Correct
- CWhen you make regular stops on a long trip
Why
With nobody else aboard, there is no one to talk to or to notice that you are getting drowsy, so a solo driver can tire more easily. Plenty of sleep and regular stops lower the risk of fatigue rather than raise it.
