How can driver fatigue best be avoided?

Fatigue at the wheel is a major concern, especially for anyone preparing for their driver’s license. It often leads to serious accidents due to lack of concentration or micro-sleep. Since accident prevention is an important part of the driving theory exam, it is essential to understand how to avoid tiredness while driving. As simple as it may sound, taking regular breaks is the most effective way to combat fatigue. Strong coffee and energy drinks offer only short-term relief. A power nap—ideally lasting no more than 15 to 20 minutes—is also a proven strategy to stay alert and safe on the road.

Is it allowed to eat while driving?

Now that it’s holiday season, many of us are taking longer trips. But is it permitted to eat and feed yourself while driving? No, when driving, your hands should always stay on the wheel, and your focus should remain on the traffic. It’s also advisable to take regular breaks where you can not only eat and drink in peace but also relax for a while. Knowing the correct behaviour while driving is an important topic for the drivers license theory test. By the way, you can prepare particularly well for it with our e.driver learning program.

What should you do in this situation?

Imagine there are children playing near the road who are clearly not paying attention to traffic. How should you react?
In this situation, you must reduce your speed and, if necessary, use your horn or even stop completely. Questions like this often appear in the Drivers license theory exam, as the topic of children and other road users is very important.

What makes areas of light and shadow problematic?

Road sections with many light and shadow patterns have the disadvantage that other road users are often hidden from view. That’s why it’s recommended to drive with dipped headlights even during the day and in sunny weather. This helps prevent dangerous situations or even accidents. Accident prevention is, by the way, also an important topic when preparing for your driver’s license.

Is it allowed to overtake in this situation?

Let’s say a pedestrian is crossing the road from the right – are you allowed to swerve left and pass? No, that is not permitted. Pedestrians who are on or approaching a pedestrian crossing always have the right of way. Passing them is prohibited, as it could lead to dangerous situations.
During the practical test, the safety of others is taken very seriously. But even in the theory section of the Drivers license exam, it is important to know how to behave correctly at a pedestrian crossing.

What is the correct reaction in this situation?

During the Drivers License theory test, many questions deal with very specific traffic scenarios. Imagine a blind person standing at the side of the road, raising their white cane to indicate they want to cross. What is the correct way to react? In general, the blind person has the right of way and is allowed to cross the road, even if there is no pedestrian crossing at that spot. What you should not do: honk. Turning off the engine is also incorrect, as the blind person would not be able to hear whether the vehicle has stopped.

How should you behave at a pedestrian crossing without a traffic island?

Imagine you're driving in an urban area and approaching a pedestrian crossing where someone is waiting to cross. In Switzerland, the rule is clear: pedestrians always have the right of way – even if they haven’t yet stepped onto the crossing. You must adjust your speed in good time and stop if necessary. Hesitating or braking too late puts others at risk and can result in a fine. When preparing for your drivers license test, it's important to understand this rule well – it’s a common topic in the theory exam.
