Be assured that feeling sleepy at the wheel puts you at higher risk of killing yourself, your passengers and other road users. To avoid feeling tired and sleepy while driving, please read the tips below to ensure a safe journey.

Before starting the journey, make sure that:

* You are fit to drive, by having a good sleep a night before.

* You have carried out the daily check of your cars.

* You have planned your journey and understand the risk if you have to get up unusually early to start your trip, or have a long drive after a full days’ work.

* You avoid making a trip at night and having heavy meals, as these may cause sleepiness.

While on a journey:

* Take a 15-minute break every two hours for cars.

* Take 1 hour after 4 hours of continuous driving for trucks or buses.

* Share the driving if possible.

* If you start feeling sleepy, stop immediately and make sure you stop away from the road shoulder.

* Driving hours must be in line with the law(12 hours a day at most).

Symptoms (症状) of tiredness and sleepiness:

* Yawning and nodding head

* Difficulty to keep your attention, to keep your eyes open or to see things clearly

When having any of these, some drivers would like to open the windows to get fresh air or play the radio. These will not help and will not solve the problem; the only solution is to stop and have enough rest.
