Fatigued driving poses numerous hazards. When drivers operate vehicles while fatigued, their judgment deteriorates, leading to delayed reactions and operational errors, thereby increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents. Symptoms of fatigued drivers include: Experiencing mental fatigue and frequent yawning while driving. Additionally, the eyes may feel extremely heavy, making it advisable to cease driving under such conditions. Dry and painful eyes, accompanied by drowsiness and distraction when observing the road. Drowsiness, blurred consciousness, and intermittent wakefulness during sleep. These are all indicative of fatigued driving. Penalties related to fatigued driving: Drivers operating large or medium-sized buses or vehicles transporting hazardous materials will be fined and receive 12 penalty points. Drivers operating non-large or medium-sized buses or vehicles transporting hazardous materials will generally be fined and receive 6 penalty points. If fatigued driving results in a major traffic accident violating criminal law, the driver will bear corresponding criminal liability.
