sign of fatigue while driving Page 21

Fatigue doesn’t tap you on the shoulder; it smacks you with subtlety.

• Heavy eyelids, frequent yawns, or blurred focus
• Drifting in your lane, late braking, or variable speed
• Missing turns, micro-daydreams, or not remembering the last few kilometres
• Head nods or microsleeps—game over, you need to stop

If any of that pops up, pull over somewhere safe, grab a 15–20 minute nap and a coffee, and swap drivers if you can.

No playlist or window-down “fresh air” will fix it; only rest does.
