How can fatigue affect your riding ability?

Fatigue can significantly impair a rider's ability to operate a motorcycle safely. When a person is fatigued, mental and physical functions decline, leading to a decrease in alertness and responsiveness. This can manifest as slower reaction times, making it more difficult to respond quickly to unexpected situations on the road, such as sudden stops by vehicles, obstacles, or changes in traffic patterns.

Inadequate rest can also affect concentration and focus, potentially causing a rider to misjudge distances, speeds, or the actions of other road users. Consequently, it is critical for riders to ensure they are well-rested before taking to the road to maintain their reaction capabilities and overall safety while riding.
