| Crashes Involving Driver and Rider Fatigue in Queensland - Aug 2004 | |
| Current research and development, through advances in technology, are exploring ways in which a driver can be monitored and warned of the onset of fatigue. But until there is widespread availability of reliable technology that enables a driver impaired by fatigue to be alerted and/or detected, public education and advertising campaigns will continue to be necessary to make all drivers aware of the dangers and warning signs of fatigue - and what they can do to minimise the risks of driving while tired. | |
