What measure must a driver take without fail if they notice symptoms of fatigue while driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to rest and sleep as long as necessary. Fatigue deteriorates a driver's psychophysical capabilities, increasing reaction time and decreasing attention and visual acuity. Although coffee or energy drinks may temporarily mask sleepiness, they do not eliminate fatigue and can cause a dangerous 'rebound effect.' The only safe and effective solution is to stop the vehicle in a suitable place and rest until fully recovered. It is recommended to take breaks every 2 hours or 200 km to prevent its onset.
