Driver's fatigue.
The physical, physiological and psychological effects of fatigue on long-distance haulage drivers are noted. The Haddon matrix principle of phases and factors is used in the analysis of the causes of driver's fatigue, and also in describing preventive measures. The promulgation of suitable regulations and a bonus system or scheme in respect of heavy-duty motor vehicle drivers are advocated.
