Explanation

Fatigue, also called tiredness, usually appears after driving for long periods without taking proper breaks, or when the breaks are not long enough. The most important rules to avoid an accident caused by sleepiness or fatigue are: if we feel tired or sleepy while driving, the best thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes; rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most; always watch for the signs and symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue.
