Fatigue

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau estimates that fatigue may be a factor in up to 30% of fatal crashes and 15% of serious injuries. Statistics from the WA Office of Road Safety (2004) indicate that around 30% of rural crashes were attributable to fatigue. The NT Report concludes that with travel involving long distances in remote country, it is likely fatigue, regardless of average speed, plays a significant part in NT crashes.

What should change

  • The current level of fatigue education and awareness campaigns should continue, and should include information on the rest areas available in the NT.
