judgement on speed, distance, risks. It could also result
in blurred vision and make you feel fatigued and sleepy.
This can lead to accidents.
• Drugs: Many drugs or pills prescribed by doctors for cold,
headache, allergy, can cause drowsiness or dizziness.
• Strong emotions : Whether positive or negative can
distract you. Around 90% of drivers involved in accidents
were either angry or just excited.
• Continuous driving : This could result in fatigue.
Ideally, a driver should rest for about 15 minutes,
for every 2-hours of continuous driving.
Transportation Tuesday

dangerous activities you engage in on the job.
You may be surprised, some of your driving habits are

• If you are taking medicines prescribed by a Doctor then
find out their effects. Is it safe for you to drive?
• When mild drowsiness hits on long trips, open a window,
chew gum, sing along with the radio, scan the road and
check your mirrors frequently.
Sleep is the only true remedy for fatigue!
