• Safety should always come first, so if you're already tired, it may be worthwhile to delay a journey or not drive at all

  • If you have to be up early to drive, go to bed earlier and make sure you get a full night's sleep

  • Plan your journeys to include a break of around 15 minutes, or enough time to relax and regain full concentration

  • If you begin to feel tired, pull over to a safe place for a coffee or other high-caffeine drink to wake yourself up. It's worth waiting for ten to 15 minutes for the drink to have an effect

  • Avoid trips during hours you are usually asleep, as your body will be conditioned to want it

  • Share the driving if you can so there's the opportunity to relax or have a quick sleep in the passenger's seat
