**Fatigue at the wheel** is a significant risk that can lead to accidents. This fatigue can be both **physical** and **psychological**. Physical fatigue causes a feeling of tiredness, while psychological fatigue makes it difficult to concentrate.

Driving for **long periods with very short breaks** is one of the main causes of fatigue. This is because the body and mind do not have enough time to recover, which increases the risk of experiencing symptoms of fatigue.

The **symptoms of fatigue** include difficulty concentrating, reduced vision and hearing, a feeling of heaviness in the eyes, and slower movements. You may also feel more nervous and irritable, and have trouble making quick decisions.

Therefore, it is crucial to take adequate and frequent breaks to avoid these symptoms and maintain safety at the wheel.
