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 driving task. An experienced driver performs many actions (shifting gears, checking mirrors, judging distances) almost automatically, requiring less mental 'bandwidth'. Conversely, a novice or inexperienced driver must devote full, 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 set in much earlier. Age is not the determining factor, but rather practice and habit.
