Symptoms of fatigue include being unable to keep vehicle steady, missing exits and veering into other lanes: Expert theSun theSundaily news Malaysia Aidilfitri Ramadan KualaLumpur raya2023 RoadSafety

: With the traditional balik kampung trek beginning soon for Muslims celebrating Hari Raya, motorists have been reminded that “safety comes first” and to take a short walk after four hours of driving.

“This has to be a routine for a few days before a long-distance drive. A motorist or long-distance bus driver should not accumulate a lack of sleep and think one day of good rest is enough because it is not and will cause sleep deficiency. Kulanthayan said if a driver feels drowsy after taking a short walk, he should take a power nap of not less than 30 minutes to refresh himself.However, this would only last a short time and they would need to stop at a rest area.

Kulanthayan urged passengers to use seat belts that are available on buses as a safety precaution even though they are not mandatory. Universiti Sains Malaysia School of Civil Engineering lecturer Prof Dr Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah said it has always been the driver’s responsibility to manage fatigue.

“It is not economical to have two drivers on board. Buses in first-world countries do not have co-drivers because they adhere to safety principles.
