Drowsiness, alcohol and drugs affect our perception. The most serious consequence of driving under a no lucidity state is the modification in the neuronal processing, which distorts our perceptions of objects and distances and it modifies the responses actions. For example, we can have the illusion of being able of overtaking a vehicle or braking in a distance that is actually impossible.
Don’t drive if you feel:
+ Difficulties to focus your sight or to maintain your eyes open.
+ Effort needed to maintain your head lifted up.
+ Frequent yawns.
+ Loosing concentration, incoherent thoughts or daydreaming.
+ Discomfort.
+ Forgetting about the last stretch covered.
+ Disobeying traffic signs.
Recommendations to avoid these symptoms:
+ Rest enough time before travelling.
+ Do not use alcohol drinks or substances unauthorized by your doctor.
+ Schedule regular stops in safe places (2 hs or 200 km periods suggested).
+ Keep the cabin well ventilated and at an adequate temperature.
+ Avoid listening to music, especially if it’s slow or relaxing.
+ Use comfortable clothes and adopt correct postures which help visibility.
+ Ask the eventual companion to help us stay alert.
