Q:
Tips for staying alert on the motorway
A:
- Plan your journey to include a stop at least once every two hours.
- Where possible, share the driving with another driver.
- Make sure you drink enough fluids.
- Don’t plan to travel late at night if you can avoid it. The overnight hours are particularly hard if you are tired.
- Don’t ignore warning signs of fatigue. If you feel drowsy, stop at the next motorway service area, get out of the car and walk around.
- In extreme cases, have a caffeine drink and sleep for 20 minutes while it takes effect. You can only do this once in a journey; it won’t have the same effect if you do it again.
