Driver fatigue is a condition that impacts a person both physically and mentally, significantly impairing their ability to make sound, safe choices while behind the wheel. A number of Dallas car wrecks have been linked to driver fatigue or sleepiness while driving.



There are signs of driver fatigue that drivers can watch out for and take necessary precautions to ensure that they do not put the their own lives or the lives of others at risk. These include:



-Yawning excessively

-Having a slow reaction time

-Heaviness in the eyes

-Driving in lanes outside of the one a driver is supposed to be in

-Having moments of microsleep, and not being able to recall the past few seconds of driving



Driver fatigue can affect anyone driving, but is most commonly associated with truck drivers and others who engage in long-distance driving. It is vital that drivers ensure that they have had sufficient rest prior to operating a motor vehicle of any type so that they do not endanger the well being of themselves or others while behind the wheel.
