Managing fatigue is just so important on a long car trip

David Berthon

Off on the annual holiday drive and long hours behind the wheel – good posture
behind the wheel is just so important and can lessen fatigue, which is one of the
big killers on our roads. Sitting too far or too close to the steering wheel can be
tiring. As a guide, sit upright, stretch out your left arm so that the palm touches
the top of the wheel, Adjust the seat length accordingly and bring the back of the
seat up to give you good lumbar support. Hold the wheel in the quarter to three or
ten to two positions with your elbows slightly bent. Glare is also a major
contributor to fatigue, so pull the sun visor down and cut out as much clear sky
as possible. Importantly, leave on your trip early morning rather than afternoon.
And, remember that old adage, STOP, REVIVE, SURVIVE.
