Fatigue is a factor in 9% of fatal crashes in New Zealand
Driver fatigue is a whole-of-fleet problem, requiring a whole-of-fleet solution
Driving is the #1 cause of work-related fatalities in Australia and New Zealand. Driver fatigue is a factor in around 9% of fatal crashes in New Zealand, and 20% in Australia – although it’s likely under-reported.
To keep drivers safe on the road, preventing fatigue is a top priority for safety-conscious fleets.
The importance of taking breaks
Fatigue increases the longer you spend driving. Taking a break from driving may seem simple, but it can help to reduce fatigue.
Most heavy vehicle drivers must complete logbooks or work diaries to demonstrate they’ve taken minimum rest breaks, but what about the rest of your fleet?
We believe that a strong fatigue management policy covers all vehicles and drivers, not just those who fall under heavy vehicle regulations. That’s why we developed EROAD Drive Buddy Fatigue.
Take action to prevent driver fatigue
EROAD Drive Buddy is a whole-of-fleet solution to improve safety and prevent driver fatigue.

It can be used to manage fatigue in vehicles exempt from completing a logbook, such as cars or utes, or as a companion app to paper logbooks.
Simple visual and audible alerts remind drivers how long until a rest break is due, or if its overdue. Making it easy to comply with fatigue management policy.
