What are the symptoms of driver fatigue?

• A. Accidentally drifting into other lanes
• B. Daydreaming and disconnected thoughts
• C. The Feeling that vehicles in the rear view mirror appeared out of nowhere
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Fatigue dulls alertness, slows reaction time, and harms perception, so it can show up in several ways. Drifting into the next lane indicates your attention and lane-keeping control are slipping. Daydreaming or having disconnected thoughts means your mind isn’t fully on driving, reducing your ability to monitor traffic and road conditions. The feeling that vehicles in the rear-view mirror appeared out of nowhere reflects delayed processing or misjudgment of what you’re seeing, another fatigue-related issue. Since these signs can all occur with driver fatigue, “All of the above” is the best answer. If you notice any of these, pull over safely and rest.
