Explanation
If you are facing a long trip, plan several stops along the way to rest and take breaks from driving. If you begin to feel drowsy or tired, it’s important to stop at the first safe location you find - not just at the side of the road. Distracted and careless driving is a leading cause of crashes, so ensure that you are well-rested and relaxed before getting behind the wheel.
