How a driver can understand that he can unexpectedly fall asleep at the wheel: 5 dangerous signs - stop immediately and rest
Why is it dangerous to feel very tired while driving?
The fact that the driver may not realize that he is starting to fall asleep.
At first, the driver thinks: "Everything is fine! I am in control of the situation! If I start to fall asleep, I will immediately realize it and stop."
And then drowsiness quickly wins over the person sitting behind the wheel.
The driver doesn’t even have time to “catch” the moment of falling asleep.
The result is getting into an extremely dangerous road situation.
So, what are the signs that you need to stop and rest immediately?
In what cases does a driver need urgent rest?
The following phenomena can be considered dangerous:
- eyelids "felt heavy";
- the appearance of a feeling of heaviness in the arms;
- the foot "itself" began to come off the pedal;
- you started yawning often;
- You can't remember the last sign you saw.
Such circumstances indicate the following: you are too tired.
You cannot continue to drive the car in this condition.
Don't expect "everything will be fine." You may suddenly fall asleep.
Don't risk it! Pull over to the side of the road or to a parking lot. Take a rest. Maybe it makes sense to take a nap.
