Drowsiness reduces our ability to pay attention and can cause us to accept a higher level of risk and, for example, to drive at higher speeds, especially when we are close to our destination and eager to arrive.
The most important rules to avoid having an accident due to drowsiness or fatigue are:
- If we feel tired or drowsy while driving, the most advisable course of action is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 to 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.
