Use Early Fatigue Signs as Your Stop Trigger
This piece is about catching mental fatigue before it turns into a dangerous lapse behind the wheel. Missing a turn, reading the same sign twice, drifting in your lane, or realising the last 20 kilometres are a blur are all warning signs your concentration is dropping and you need to act before it gets worse.
Operator note: Before your next long run, pick one warning sign named here — like lane drift, missing details, or the last 20 kilometres feeling like a blur — and use it as your non-negotiable trigger to pull over at the next safe spot for a 15-minute break, a short walk, and water.
