Can an inexperienced driver become fatigued more easily while driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, that is correct. The main reason is the lack of automation in the task of driving. An experienced driver performs many actions (changing gears, checking the mirrors, judging distances) almost automatically, which requires less mental 'bandwidth'. By contrast, a novice or inexperienced driver must devote full and conscious attention to each of these actions, in addition to processing the traffic environment. This constant high level of concentration and the tension of facing new situations cause mental and physical fatigue to appear much sooner. Age is not the determining factor, but rather practice and habit.
