ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND FATIGUE
Alcohol and drugs
Driving is dangerous enough without lowering your driving ability - and that's what alcohol and drugs do.
In Victoria random roadside testing applies for both alcohol and drugs.

Drivers should stop every two hours for a break and to take a 15 minute powernap if feeling tired.
Watch out for yawns, tired eyes, long blinks, wandering concentration, eyes playing ‘tricks', head nodding, irritability, hitting lane marker lines and more. These are some of the signs that you need to stop driving - now!
Never drive at times when you would normally be asleep. And remember the only cure for fatigue is sleep.
