Sure Signs Of Driver Fatigue
According to the U.S. National Traffic Safety Administration, driver fatigue accounts for about 100,000 accidents annually. These accidents are often more severe, partly because fatigued drivers frequently fail to brake before collisions happen.
So when you drive, watch for these signs of driver fatigue and rest when they occur:
- Heavy eyelids
- Daydreaming
- Misjudgment of traffic situations
- Varying vehicle speeds for no apparent reason
- Allowing your vehicle to drift to the road edge or over the centerline
- Feeling cramped and fidgety
- Continual yawning that cannot be prevented
- Rash decisions due to impatience
Once fatigue has set in, rest is the only cure!
