Fatigue, also called tiredness, tends to appear during long driving periods, over a long time, without taking adequate rest breaks or when those breaks are insufficient.
The most important rules to avoid having an accident due to drowsiness or fatigue are:
- If we feel tired or sleepy while driving, the most advisable thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes.
- Rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most.
- Always be alert to the signs and symptoms of drowsiness or fatigue.
