Motor Accident Commission of South Australia: Don't Fight Fatigue

Many drivers ignore the signs of fatigue while driving longer distances, but for the safety of everyone on the road they’re being told to take a break at least every two hours. The message is to look for signs of tiredness before drivers get knocked around by fatigue. During Christmas and new year holiday times, many drivers will find themselves driving longer distances along unfamiliar roads and at speeds they wouldn’t normally be travelling. By removing fatigue as a risk, drivers are more able to respond to testing conditions and arrive safely.
