4. To minimize the potential for fatigue, you should:

Turn on the radio.

Take frequent rest breaks.

Drink caffeine.

Taking frequent rest breaks during a long trip can help reduce fatigue. Stimulants, such as caffeine, can ultimately increase the danger of fatigue because you may become extremely tired when they begin to wear off. Wind, rain, snow, and other elements can also increase levels of fatigue, so dress warmly (as needed) and invest in a windshield, especially if you plan to ride long distances.

Vehicles will be entering the roadway.

Signal ahead.

Come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.

Octagonal signs that are colored red are always stop signs. When approaching one of these signs, you must come to a complete stop, yield to any other traffic or pedestrians, and proceed once it is safe to do so.

6. You approach an emergency vehicle that is stopped on the side of the road while using its flashing lights. You should:

Stop on the roadway behind the emergency vehicle.

Stop and wait until the emergency vehicle begins moving again.

Merge into a lane away from the emergency vehicle.

If you approach an emergency vehicle, tow truck, or roadside assistance vehicle that is stopped with its lights flashing, you must change lanes to allow the vehicle extra space and proceed with caution. Always slow down and be prepared to stop when you approach an emergency scene.
