Your motorway journey is boring and you feel drowsy. What should you do?

A: Stop on the hard shoulder for a sleep

B: Open a window and stop as soon as it’s safe and legal

C: Speed up to arrive at your destination sooner

D: Slow down and let other drivers overtake

Never stop on the hard shoulder to rest. If there’s no service area for several miles, leave the motorway at the next exit and find somewhere safe and legal to pull over.
