Avoid Fatigued Driving

About the Training

Fatigue-related crashes spike in the early morning, between 5 and 7 a.m., when the body fights hardest to sleep. This training helps drivers recognize their own fatigue signals and make the call to rest before drowsiness turns into a crash.

What You'll Learn

  • Recognize the elevated crash risk during early morning hours
  • Identify the personal warning signs of fatigue
  • Describe when to stop and rest rather than push through
  • Apply rest habits that reduce fatigue-related risk
