Questions Learners Have About Fatigue & Driving Risks

What does Italian law say about driving while fatigued?

Italian law, specifically Art. 115 CdS, obliges drivers not to operate a vehicle when they are physically or mentally unfit, including due to fatigue, as it compromises driving safety.

What is 'microsleep' and why is it dangerous on Italian motorways?

Microsleep (microsonno) is a brief, involuntary episode of sleep lasting a few seconds. On Italian motorways at 130 km/h, a 3-second microsleep means travelling over 100 meters completely unaware, which is extremely dangerous.

It is strongly recommended to stop every two hours for at least 15 minutes during long drives to combat fatigue and maintain concentration.

Are there specific times when fatigue is more dangerous for drivers?

Yes, the primary danger windows for fatigue-related incidents are typically between 2 AM and 6 AM, and during the early afternoon between 1 PM and 3 PM due to natural dips in alertness.

What are the consequences of causing an accident due to fatigue in Italy?

Causing a fatal accident due to negligence, including driving while severely fatigued, can lead to severe criminal liability under Italian law, similar to other forms of impaired driving.

Does ACI promote fatigue awareness in Italy?
