How To Avoid Driver Fatigue

One of the largest causes of accidents on the road today in the United Kingdom is caused by excessive fatigue. As a Large Goods Vehicle driver, one will encounter fatigue quite often as they are driving across the country from one town to the other. Even thought the government has mandated rests for the LGV driver, accidents with fatigue has the culprit still exist. The following are ways to combat fatigue.
Fatigue while driving is very similar to jet lag-the same fatigue international travelers get from traviling from one continent to another. The very first thing a driver should be aware of is his mandated scheduled resting stops. At this time it is imperative that the driver stops the vehicle at a designated rest site and do just that-rest. Most LGV drivers know that after driving for eight hours in a given shift one feels "cooped up" and while spending the entire time in the vehicle. The main thing that drivers will do is to get out of the cab and take a short brisk walk. This enables the body to move around to increase circulation in the driver's body; plus, exercise has never hurt anyone. After the brisk walk, inspect the vehicle for any inconsistencies: check the fluid levels of the lorry, check for nicks or scratches on the windows, inspect the vehicles tires, and whatever else that the Large Goods Vehicle driver learned while in training. Not only is the LGV driver practicing good driving habits but also it keeps the driver's brain busy and will decrease fatigue. While on the road, the LGV is focused on driving to the destination. Taking time to inspect the vehicle will allow the brain to think of something different which helps immensely.
A good diet also decreases the Large Goods Vehicle driver's fatigue. It is very easy to eat food high in carbohydrates such as snack cakes and crisps as most are easily accessible; however, while one may experience a quick decrease in fatigue due to the food's high sugar and carbohydrate in these unhealthy foods, the driver will end up being more fatigued once the effects of the sugar goes through the body. An LGV driver needs to avoid this and must eat healthy in order to combat driver's fatigue. A diet high in protein such as lean meats and fish as well as a ample supply of fruits which contain healthy natural sugars (known as fructose) are highly recommended. The driver will not suffer the same effects when their diet consists of foods high in sugars and carbohydrates.
The final habit an LGV driver should have is to drink plenty of water. Of course a soda and tea is fine once in awhile, but a driver cannot and should not base his entire fluid intake of these beverages. One must remember that these products contain high levels of caffeine. Caffeine will help the driver stay awake for awhile, but often caffeine has the same "crashing" effects as the foods high in carbohydrates. By drinking plenty of water, assists the body in flushing out unneeded toxins in your body and increases one's awareness on the road. One doesn't have to give up all carbohydrates and caffeine, just remember that items like that are good only in moderation.
