If you start to feel tired while driving, drive to the first available rest stop or service area to take a break, nap, stretch, or change drivers. You should not rely on caffeine pills or energy drinks, as these are not a replacement for rest and may make your driving even more dangerous.

You should not start across an intersection if you know you will block the intersection when the light turns red:

Under any circumstances.
Unless you entered the intersection on a yellow light.
Unless you entered the intersection on a green light.

Stop before the stop line or crosswalk at any intersection that is controlled by a stop sign. If there is a stop sign but no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection and proceed when it is safe to do so.
