The Warning Signs

There are a number of easy to recognise warning signs that you're becoming fatigued. You know that you are becoming fatigued if you have a combination of any of the following:

  • Continual yawning
  • Difficulty keeping head up and eyes open
  • Eyes feel sore and heavy
  • Vision starts to blur
  • Seeing things
  • Difficulty holding a conversation
  • Daydreaming
  • Impatience and making rash decisions
  • Reactions seem slow
  • Feeling stiff or cramped
  • Wandering over the centre line, into another lane or on to the road edge
  • Hearing droning or humming in your ears
  • Not noticing a vehicle until it suddenly overtakes
  • Not remembering driving the last few kilometres

When you notice any of these warning signs, you're in danger.
