Explanation

Drowsiness is one of the most dangerous conditions for a driver, because it reduces concentration, worsens the perception of the road environment and makes the driver more willing to take risks. The driver may misjudge distances, fail to notice obstacles and react late. In Spain and other countries, drowsiness is one of the main causes of road accidents, especially on open roads and at night. It is recommended to take breaks every 2 hours or 200 km and to avoid driving when tired.
