Driving tired
Australia is an expansive country. This makes it necessary for people to drive considerable distances. Unfortunately, this often leads to many people driving tired, which in 2007, claimed more than 60 lives and accounted for approximately 18 per cent of the road toll. Public education aims to warn drivers of the dangers of driving tired, raise awareness of the symptoms of fatigue and challenge the myths about overcoming tiredness.
