The TAC Pause Stop initiative aims to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys by encouraging road users to plan ahead, pull over, and recharge.

There are more than 60 places to pause from the road across Victoria during key holiday periods. 

A pause from the road might save your life.

 

How to avoid tired driving

• Plan a pause from the road every two hours
• Get enough sleep before driving
• Avoid driving late at night
• Don't travel for more than 8 - 10 hours a day
• Share the driving wherever possible
• Don't drink alcohol before your trip
• Take a 15-minute powernap if you feel drowsy
• Grab a coffee to recharge
