Once in a while a new driver finds himself on a long drive from home calling for extremely long hours behind the wheel. Many deaths and injuries on the roads are more often than not attributed to fatigue which often leads to fatal crashes. Fatigue has the ability to overwhelm a tired driver and as thus you should be keen in this regard. Many drivers who tried to push just a little bit more before taking a break have more often than not ended up in tragic situations.
It appears that the most dangerous time for a fatigued motorist is usually dawn because your heavy eyelids could easily slam shut involuntarily trying to block the rising sun. As a fresh driver, it is imperative that you stop for a stretch and refreshments after every two hours. Such a break should also be sued as an opportunity for cleaning the windscreen. You can also avoid fatal problems by observing speed limits as well as being careful to observe the weather and road conditions.
It is extremely risky to try overtaking on meandering country roads where straight stretches are few and far between. It is impatience and adventure that usually leads to some dangerous stunts on the road. If you have never driven away from the city where speeds are usually moderate, you may have trouble judging speeds of oncoming vehicles and distances; you therefore need to be extra vigilant. Should an insect such as a bee get into your car, resist the temptation to try and kill it while driving because that could easily lead to a crash.
