Driver Fatigue

One very serious hazard is DRIVER FATIGUE.
If you experience any of these Warning Signs get off the road immediately:
You find yourself weaving in your lane or drifting into other lanes;
Your eyes start to play tricks on you, e.g. a motorway off-ramp looks like your lane;
Or a road sign looks like a person standing on the side of the road;
Your vision becomes blurry;
You lose mental focus and become unable to concentrate for more than a few seconds;
Your eyelids become heavy or difficult to keep open and they close by themselves;
Your head nods or falls toward your chest;
You become drowsy or overly relaxed.
