Fatigue and drowsy driving
A tired driver reacts as slowly as an impaired one. The G1 test expects you to recognise fatigue and know how to deal with it before it causes a collision.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Drowsiness slows your reactions and judgement much like alcohol does.
- ◆ Yawning, heavy eyelids, and drifting in your lane are warning signs of fatigue.
- ◆ The only real cure for fatigue is to stop and sleep -- not coffee or fresh air.
- ◆ Pull off at a rest area or safe spot the moment you feel drowsy.
- ◆ Plan regular breaks and avoid driving at times you would normally be asleep.
