How does fatigue affect driving and what does the NT government recommend to prevent it on long trips?

1. Fatigue has minimal effect if the driver is motivated; drink energy drinks if tired
2. Fatigue only affects inexperienced drivers; rest is not needed if you know the road
3. Fatigue impairs judgement and reaction time; take 15-minute breaks every 2 hours and get adequate sleep before departure
4. Fatigue only becomes dangerous after 8 hours of continuous driving; short breaks are optional
