    Exclamation Why you dont Drive When Your Tired!!! Warning, Crash Photo's

    We all love traveling and camping and there is nothing worse after a long weekend away than the drive home. After a big weekend you are always Fatigued, i have done it and driven when extreamly tired.. Unfortunatly My Younger Brother learn't the hard way very recently by closing his eyes for a second (or so he thought) and ended up wrapping his car around a tree at 100km/h. He had the cruise set, on his way home from a mates place and next thing i know im getting a phone call at 7am from my parent's.

    Now i know everyone knows this, but i would just like to re-enforce that if you are tired at all, pull over for a stretch or small nap.. Even for a cup of coffee, as i would hate to hear about a member on this forum having an accident from something as easy as this.

    Now luckily my brother pretty much walked away from this with no major injury's or broken bones. Just a heap of bruises and a lecture from my Father. Just Pure Luck in this case he wasn't killed, and very lucky he had no passengers

    Just a friendly reminder for all to be safe out there on the roads and and i hope to never hear about a forum member, or anyone else having an accident like this. Definetly reminded me to the dangers of driving while tired


    The main Purpose of this post is just to remind everyone about fatigue and what it can do, stay safe out there everyone
