Concentration
Always strategize your journey to ensure that you:
- Determine the route you need to follow.
- Schedule regular intervals for rest stops.
Maintaining proper concentration while driving is essential, especially when fatigue sets in. To combat drowsiness, especially on motorways and during nighttime:
- Avoid driving continuously for more than 2 hours.
- Ensure there’s fresh air circulating in the car.
- If you start feeling drowsy, exit at the next opportunity. Find a safe and legal spot to pull over and take a break.
Self-reflection: Although it can be tempting to push through fatigue, planning rest breaks along your journey is crucial for staying alert and arriving safely. Remember, driving while tired increases the risk of collisions or near-misses by threefold.
