Terms and Conditions

Don’t drive tired

Follow the example of the Burnley players and make sure you avoid the effects of fatigue. The team travel by coach to their away games to avoid the risk of fatigue both on the road and on the pitch.

An estimated 300 people a year are killed nationally due to fatigue related crashes. Remember:

  • Never start a journey if you are already tired
  • Don’t drive if you are taking medicines that make you feel drowsy
  • Try to share the driving
  • Take a break every 2 hours on a long journey

The warning signs of fatigue include yawning, eyes closing and difficulty concentrating - all signs telling you to stop. If you do feel tired:

  • Find a safe place to stop if you feel drowsy – not on the hard shoulder
  • Drink two cups of coffee or a high-caffeine drink, and then take a short nap to allow the caffeine to kick in

Good Luck!
