Penza reminded why fatigue behind the wheel is more dangerous than speed

Accidents that occurred due to the fact that the driver fell asleep are particularly serious consequences. When a person gets behind the wheel tired, the risk of an accident increases dramatically. Loss of control of the car in a dream can result in irreversible consequences for the driver and other participants of the movement.

The first bells of piled fatigue are drowsiness, lethargy and weakness. The arms and legs begin to look heavy. Added to this is a loss of attention and concentration. Movements become inhibited, the driver begins to make mistakes: he does not have time to change gear, forgets to turn on the turn signal and so on. All these signs lead to a weakening of the reaction, which is especially dangerous on a long journey - you can not notice a sign or marking in time.

Noticing even the slightest signs of fatigue, you need to stop and rest. Help fresh air and washing with cool water. In extreme cases, you can drink a tonic drink - coffee or tea.
