What should riders do if they feel drowsy while riding?

When riders feel drowsy while riding, the most appropriate action is to find a safe place to stop and rest. Fatigue significantly impairs a rider's ability to respond to hazards and make quick decisions, which can lead to dangerous situations. Stopping to rest allows the rider to regain focus and energy, ensuring safety not only for themselves but also for others on the road.

Pushing through and continuing to ride can lead to a dangerous situation, as drowsiness can quickly escalate into a lack of awareness and slower reaction times. Increasing speed to stay alert might temporarily stimulate a rider but can also increase the risk of accidents due to higher speeds and the potential for losing control. Relying on caffeine pills may offer a temporary boost but does not address the underlying fatigue and can sometimes lead to increased jitteriness or crashes in concentration once the effects wear off.

By prioritizing safety and taking a break when feeling drowsy, riders can help prevent accidents and ensure a safer riding experience.
