How should you handle fatigue while driving?

Fatigue slows your reaction time, reduces attention, and can cause micro-sleeps, making driving dangerously unpredictable. The safest approach is to stop at a safe place and rest or nap, and not continue when very tired. A short 15-20 minute nap can restore alertness; plan for rest stops on long trips and avoid driving if sleep-deprived. Relying on caffeine, loud music, or energy drinks only masks fatigue for a short time and can lead to a crash later, so they’re not reliable solutions.
