YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION

You're not at your best if you are ill or very tired.

Try to avoid driving when you are not feeling well, and plan long trips carefully to provide time for rest stops every couple of hours.

If you begin to feel tired, open a window for fresh air and stop for a cup of coffee or tea.

Don't drive at all if you are very tired, or for at least 15 minutes after waking from sleep.

Remember also that medicines may affect your driving ability. Check with your doctor or pharmacist about any medication you are taking.
