Is it because it's a long route and gets boring? Australia has random questions/quizzes posted on road sides so that people stay awake.

IDK about this. Any article?

An extremely interesting point . It's very difficult to break monotonity of the road ... I have traversed along long highways in Rajasthan.., Few tips ....

1. Keep talking to a companion..

2. Try not to use a A.C ...

3. Keep taking small coffee or fag breaks ...

4. If nothing else works play some peppy number on stereo

Toll nakas do break the monotonity ( hypnosis) at times but I do admit it's a serious issue

just came back after driving for 6.5 hrs from Pune to thane by express way. I travel to Pune twice a month. @ilu तू mention केलंस तसं मी ऐकलं नाही. माझा विश्वास पण नाही अशा गोष्टींवर. अशा अफवा उठत असतात.

@rprr आत्ताच बातमी वाचली की नवीन सरकार एक्स्प्रेस वे यंत्रणेची चौकशी करणार म्हणून. टोल वारेमाप घेतात तर रस्त्यांची अवस्था वाईट आहेच पण कसल्याच सुखसोयी नाहीत.

या सर्व गोष्टींचा सारांश असा आहे, की सलग driving करु नये, त्याने ताण येतो.

मध्ये मध्ये tea break, लू break घ्यावा.

नाष्टा करावा, गप्पा माराव्या, स्वतःच मोठ्या आवाजात गाणी म्हणावीत किंवा मग लावावीत.

जेणेकरुन driver जागा राहिला पाहिजे. कारण त्याला जर झोप/डुलकी लागली, तर ...😢😢

There is such a thing as highway hypnosis and several studies have been done related to it.

Here are the symptoms:

• Glossy eyed state.
• Slow reaction time.
• Dazed feeling.
• Loss of concentration.
• Daydreaming and wandering thoughts.
• Possibility of drifting into the other lane.
• Missing exits/traveling too far without noticing.
• Suddenly snapping out of a trance.

How can we avoid highway hypnosis?

1. Try to avoid driving during your normal sleeping hours.
2. Don't try to drive too far in one day.
3. Keep your eyes moving and check your rear-view and side mirrors often.
4. Look at all the road signs and traffic around you.
5. Talk to your passengers, if you have any.
6. Take a break.
7. Map out your rest spots.
8. Read all the road signs and traffic around you.
9. Keep the temperature cool with plenty of fresh air.

Highway hypnosis vs driver fatigue

In a highway hypnosis state, the brain takes over all the automatic tasks that are involved in driving the vehicle while our minds wander away to distant places. It’s different from driver fatigue because although the driver may feel a little drowsy, the brain is still acting in a state of automaticity that allows the driver to operate the vehicle safely under normal circumstances. With driver fatigue, the brain doesn’t have automaticity, as the body and brain fall into a sleep state while you drive.

WIth highway hypnosis, the subconscious mind takes over driving tasks, but with driver fatigue, that simply doesn’t happen. Driving tired can make us susceptible to highway hypnosis.
