What's really sad is that we are taught from an early age to keep going even when we're tired. It's become such a habit to many people that they may not even realize they are more tired than they think.
this video is aimed at car drivers for leisure. How about the lorry drivers? they can't stop every couple of hours for breaks as they'd never get their job done yet they're expected to drive 9 - 10hrs and work 13 - 15hrs daily.
By law, all HGV drivers are required to take a 45 minute break before 4 and half hours of continuous driving. These breaks can be split into 2 sections. The first break is a minimum of 15 minutes and the second break should be a minimum of 30 minutes and these breaks must be taken before you reach 4 and half hours driving
Also remember that a tachograph records all breaks and rest periods, and if found to be breaking the law, you will be liable to expensive fines. Such as £300
Also, i like to add something. A HGV driver can only drive a maximum of 10 hours in one day and cannot work for more than 15 hours. Your weekly average working time should be no more than 48 hours. Please be assured that HGV drivers are heavily regulated and with good reason. No escaping it, it all gets recorded and if you foul up with your hours, expect a nice hefty fine and risk losing your HGV driving licence
