It highlights the importance of recognising the signs of fatigue and understanding when it may no longer be safe to continue driving.
The course also considers practical approaches to managing and preventing driver fatigue, including appropriate rest and sleep, journey planning, taking suitable breaks and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.
