AM I FIT TO DRIVE?
Even before you get in a vehicle, you should always assess whether
you’re fit to drive.

“I AM SAFE” checklist
Do a self-check using the “I AM SAFE” checklist. Ask yourself these
questions:

• Illness – Do I have an illness or symptom that might affect my ability to
  drive?
• Attitude – How do I feel about this journey? Am I fully focused on
  the driving task? What human factors do I need to take
  account of?
• Medication – Am I taking any medication that might affect my
  performance?
• Sleep – Am I suffering from lack of sleep/fatigue?
• Alcohol – Have I had a drink? Am I still affected by alcohol?
• Food – Am I hungry or thirsty? Could low blood sugar or dehydration
  affect my judgement?
• Emotion – Am I angry, depressed, or stressed? Could this lead me to
  take risks?
