Which of these is a danger signal of drowsy driving?

• A. You do not remember the last few miles driven
• B. You are able to stay alert
• C. You can remember the last mile
• D. You check mirrors frequently

Answer: (A)

Not remembering the last few miles driven is a clear sign you’re losing focus or even nodding off while behind the wheel. When drowsy, your brain doesn’t process or store the driving experience properly, so you can end up with memory gaps. That means you might miss hazards, drift between lanes, or react too slowly to changes on the road, which greatly increases crash risk. Being able to stay alert, remembering the last mile, or checking mirrors frequently all indicate you are awake and paying attention, not drowsy. If you notice you can’t remember what happened just minutes ago, it’s a cue to pull over safely, take a break, rest, and regain alertness before continuing.
