Explanation

Driving when you are tired can be very dangerous, and it may cause you to micro-sleep (or nod off momentarily). At 100 km/h you travel at 28 metres a second, so if you micro-sleep for just 4 seconds you would travel over 100 metres without being in control of the vehicle. Never drive if you are fighting sleep.

如果司机在驾驶时感到疲倦,他们应该怎么做?

  1. 司机应沿道路中心行驶并减速。
  2. 司机应在可用时驾驶在硬路肩上。
  3. 司机应该停下来休息。

疲劳驾驶非常危险,可能导致微睡(或短暂打盹)。以100公里/小时的速度行驶时,每秒行驶28米,因此如果微睡4秒,你将在没有控制车辆的情况下行驶超过100米。若感到困倦,切勿驾驶。
