Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Fatigue at the wheel critically alters the driver's psychophysical abilities: it increases reaction time, markedly reduces the ability to concentrate and encourages distractions or drowsiness. Therefore, when signs of tiredness appear (such as continuous yawning, itchy eyes or slowness in making decisions), the only safe and lawful measure is to reduce speed and immediately look for an authorized place to stop to rest, stretch your legs and drink water. Trying to speed up to arrive sooner is reckless behavior that raises the risk of a serious accident exponentially, while looking for a less busy road does not solve physiological tiredness and may worsen it because of the monotony.
